o Provide the Highest Quality Graduate

Education Offer doctoral courses in Technology

Management by joining a consortium with Indiana State University.

A minimum of three online doctoral courses must be offered a year to be part of the consortium.

Students will be awarded a degree from Indiana State University, however, all of the course work is offered online.

A new faculty member would be required to cover the additional course offerings. This would attract more people into the program and also allow the department to grow new faculty for its expanding program, hopefully eliminating the need to hire third and fourth choice faculty search candidates in the future
