Technology Elective Requirements: In addition to the 5 required courses and capstone project, students in the track must enroll in the “Commercialization and Innovation Strategy” mini course. They must also complete 12 units of technology or entrepreneurial-centric courses, including at least one elective from the School of Computer Science. Track participants work with the faculty coordinators to select an appropriate sequence of electives based on the student’s background and career goals.
Students who have completed graduate-level work comparable to any of the core courses may, upon passing an exemption exam, select an alternative course. In addition to the core technical courses, students must complete 18 units of technology or entrepreneurship-centric courses, including at least one elective from the School of Computer Science and one Information Systems elective from the Tepper School of Business.
Curriculum is subject to change.
