DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM
Consortium for Doctoral Studies in Technology
The graduate program leading to a doctor of philosophy in technology management is offered through the College of Technology at Indiana State University in cooperation with a consortium of four additional universities. This unique organization of universities having studies in technology includes Bowling Green State University; University of Central Missouri; East Carolina University; Indiana State University; and North Carolina A&T State University. The consortium brings together 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 national recognition 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 participating universities, including Indiana State University, plus the director of the Ph.D. in Technology Management Program from Indiana State University. Selection of each representative is made by the participating university, but must come from their school of technology, industrial technology department, or other appropriate department.
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.
