Applicants respond to essay prompts that explore their academic strengths, ambitions, and personal goals. Final selections are made through a holistic review process plus interviews.How much additional work is involved?
The minor requires 22 credit hours, with coursework comparable in difficulty to standard junior/senior business or engineering classes. The capstone alone accounts for 4 credits and demands significant effort in the final semester.Elective credits for T&M courses?
This varies by department. Students should consult their academic advisor for specifics.
Will participation delay graduation?

A detailed academic plan is required as part of the application.Can I take T&M courses without being in the program?
No—most courses (except MSE 101) are reserved for admitted T&M students only.
Are graduate students eligible?
No. The T&M minor is exclusively for undergraduates. Graduate students should explore the separate Master’s in Technology Management program.
Can international and transfer students apply?
Yes. Transfer students need to be accepted into their intended major and college. International students are fully eligible and will not be disadvantaged.
