In today’s increasingly competitive business environment characterized by shortened product life cycles, global competition, increased market segmentation, and re-structured industry value chains, there is a critical need for men and women with a passion for technology who understand their firm’s business models and can contribute to the successes of their organization. The Technology Management Program (TMP) meets this need and adds an academic distinction to an undergraduate degree with which few students from other universities, technology or otherwise, can compete.

Photo of studentsTMP helps prepare undergraduate students to enter the technology business world with knowledge of balance sheets, income statements, discounted cash flows, capital budgeting, opportunity recognition, market segmentation, target marketing and sales, IP management, business planning, public speaking, team work, and leadership. Our goal is to see UC Santa Barbara‘s Technology Management students sought out by technology corporations and start-ups.
