MINOR IN MANAGEMENT
Students may obtain an undergraduate
minor in management by completing 14
credits of MG courses. An overall GPA of

classes. At least 8 of the 14 credits must be
taken by students while enrolled at

GRADUATE AND
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Because all managers must now understand
how technology and innovation are
essential for delivering value to organizations
and the market, the department offers
a portfolio of continually updated educational
programs, all dealing in some fashion
with the broad spectrum of innovation,
technology and information management
in the modern economy.
The department offers six graduate and
professional degrees, two of which are
earned in executive management programs
(meeting every other week on Thursday
evening and all day Saturday) and three
evening graduate programs:
• Master of Science in Financial Engineering
• Master of Science in Management
• Master of Science in Management of
Technology (MOT Executive Program)
• Master of Science in Organizational
Behavior
• Master of Science in Telecommunication
and Information Management (TIM
Executive Program)
• Doctor of Philosophy in Technology
Management
The Master of Science degrees in
Management, Organizational Behavior and
Financial Engineering may be pursued
either part time or full time with an evening
schedule. Each has concentrations that
allow students to specialize in selected
areas of Management, Organizational
Behavior or Financial Engineering.
The department also offers certificates
from the Management, Financial
Engineering and Organizational Behavior
Programs, which consist of sequences of
selected courses leading to advanced
knowledge in a desired area of specialization.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN
TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
Modern technologies increasingly and profoundly
affect management of products,
services, processes, organizational forms,
business models, the shape of industry
structures and modern business environments,
the kinds of the technology- enabled
innovation available, and the capability of
integrating technology and management
to create value for customers and organizations.
The ability to conduct research on
and to educate on the managerial implications
of such topics—all comprising technology
management—is a highly
sought-after and important arena for business
scholarship and education. The PhD
in Technology Management is designed for
this increasingly significant set of scholarly
and educational opportunities.
This degree program is designed for
research-oriented students. Admission criteria
includes academic record, professional
experience, research potential,
GMAT or GRE scores and references.

INSTITUTE FOR TECHNOLOGY
AND ENTERPRISE
The Institute for Technology and Enterprise
(ITE) is supported by the Department of
Management at Polytechnic University.
Located at 55 Broad Street in Manhattan,
ITE is New York City’s research and education
hub for the management of technology
and innovation and modern
e-business, telecommunications and networking
decision making. Located in the
heart of high-technology New York City,
ITE is a focal point and R&D engine for
building managerial knowledge and developing
learning programs suited particularly
to technology-intensive and
“hybrid”—i.e., digital and physical—settings.
ITE’s emphasis is on the creation of
new value by users of technology. Hence,
ITE’s emphasis is often on such sectors as
media, entertainment, financial and professional
services, bio-medical and healthcare
and other industries comprising much
of the New York City economy.
ITE is also a gathering place for a
unique, diverse and interdisciplinary community,
comprising faculty members from
the Department of Management and other
Polytechnic departments, industry leaders,
and participating professionals in department’s
executive master’s programs. These
highly committed professionals and scholars
take part in ITE round tables and workshops
in New York City and around the
world, and, working together, develop relevant
research and learning materials that
are used in learning programs and other
international events.
ITE activities include:
• Round tables and executive workshops
on such subjects as wireless innovation,
media management, e-business
decision making and new business models,
managerial challenges in the
biotechnology industry in Israel, innovation
in the post-NASDAQ-crash,
post-9/11 world, and new dimensions in
global innovation.
• Research and curriculum development
on modern innovation management, the
transformation of the print media industry,
value creation in financial services,
global innovation strategy, and the
emerging homeland security sector’s
impact on U.S. technology decision
