Utah Valley University

What you'll study

Curriculum focuses on the intersection of technology and management rather than deep technical engineering or computer science. Typical topics include project management, operations and quality management, technology strategy, systems thinking, organisational behaviour, finance fundamentals for managers, and technical communication. Classes balance conceptual frameworks with practical assignments such as case studies, team projects and applied problem-solving in industry-relevant contexts.

Entry requirements

Admission is at the undergraduate level and generally requires a secondary-school completion credential or equivalent plus any standard institutional admissions steps (application, transcripts). Students without a strong technical background may be advised to complete preparatory coursework in mathematics or introductory technology/IT topics. Transfer pathways often exist for students coming from applied-technology certificates or associate degrees.

Career prospects

Graduates typically pursue supervisory and mid-level management roles in manufacturing, IT services, facilities management, product support, operations, or project coordination. Job titles can include technology manager, operations supervisor, project coordinator, facilities manager, or technical program manager. The programme also provides a foundation for continuing to specialised graduate study in management, project management, or technology-related disciplines.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should investigate institutional scholarships, departmental awards for technology and management students, and external funding aimed at workforce development and STEM-adjacent careers. Employer tuition assistance, internships with stipends, and need-based financial aid are common ways students reduce the cost of study. Early engagement with the university’s financial aid office improves access to available options.
