DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM

Consortium for Doctoral Studies in Technology Management

The graduate program leading to a doctor of philosophy in technology management is offered through the College of Technology at Indiana State University in collaboration with a consortium of three additional universities. This unique organization of universities having studies in technology include Bowling Green State University; University of Central Missouri; East Carolina University; and Indiana State University. The consortium brings together these leading schools/colleges of technology in the United States to capitalize on existing resources and expertise in specialized areas of technology. The Consortium university faculty have been nationally recognized for their expertise and leadership in the development of the profession.

Consortium Coordinating Council

The Consortium Coordinating Council includes one representative from each of the four participating universities, who assumes the role of Program Coordinator for the respective institution.  The Director of the Ph.D. in Technology Management Program at Indiana State University is also a member of the Coordinating Council.  Selection of each Program Coordinator is based on recommendation by the participating university.  Affirmation of recommendation is managed through an approval process by the school/college of technology, industrial technology department, or other appropriate/approved technology area or department at each respective institution. The responsibility of the Consortium Coordinating Council is to advise and recommend on the development and operation of the consortium Ph.D. in Technology Management Program and/or population therein.

INTRODUCTION

The Doctor of Philosophy in Technology Management program is designed to prepare students for positions of leadership in the public and private sectors of society. At the conclusion of the program, graduates will have developed skills in research procedures, acquired expertise in instructional processes, and will be able to provide service to the industrial and educational community.

The program maintains most of the traditional requirements characteristic of advanced graduate study, but is unique in using the resources of a consortium of four universities who collaborate to present a well-rounded and robust program.  The component construct of the program is managed through online and face-to-face presentation platforms, but is considered a distance program.  These member universities have programs staffed by faculty having expertise in many areas of technology. Additionally, laboratories with specialized equipment are available that provide opportunities for research and study. Each university brings to the consortium unique philosophical quality and extensive library holdings that add depth and quality to the program.

Alternative communication technology is used to deliver key components of the program such as a general technology core, linking campuses to better serve students. This allows all members of the consortium to capitalize on the efficient use of existing resources while maintaining quality.
