Master of Science in Technology Leadership & Innovation 

For students interested in pursuing a master's degree, we offer a Master of Science in Technology Leadership and Innovation (MSTLI). The three courses required for the HRD Graduate Certificate (9 credit hours) can be applied toward the MSTLI if students choose to continue their education in the master's program. Admission into the graduate certificate does not automatically mean acceptance into the master's degree. Students must apply to each program individually for consideration. For more information please visit MS in Technology Leadership and Innovation.
