Degree Programs

Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Management

ONLINE PROGRAM

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Management (ETM) was designed for engineering technology associate’s degree holders who wish to earn a bachelor’s degree with only an additional two years of coursework. Students enroll in the program if they possess or are near completion of an associate degree in engineering technology. The program is ideal for technicians who desire the management skills necessary to be an effective interface between technicians and upper managers. It uses a comprehensive blend of management, business, economics, and communications courses to build a layer of management knowledge and skills on students’ technical foundation. ETM courses include cost analysis, work analysis, systems decision making, quality practices, and project management. Industry projects integrated with traditional coursework enable students to apply theory in realistic management situations. The ETM degree will open doors for advancement and give students the ability and confidence to step through those doors. Visit www.uscupstate.edu/etm for more information.

Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS)

ONLINE PROGRAM

Interdisciplinary Studies provides students the opportunity to develop, in consultation with an advisor, a multi-disciplinary program of study to meet their educational and career goals. The flexibility of the IDS program allows students to combine course work from two or more disciplines based on career goals, workplace advancement needs, or preparation for graduate or professional study. IDS students may take upper-level courses in any discipline in arts and sciences, in any business discipline, and in some education disciplines. In addition, IDS students may choose a focus area such as Business and Communications, Nonprofit Administration and Sociology, or Technology and Nonprofit Administration. The IDS major is available to students at all levels of their academic careers—from the beginning freshman to the degree-completion student with previously earned credits. IDS transfers who have earned an AA or AS degree from a regionally-accredited (for college transfer) technical or community college or have completed the general education requirements at an accredited baccalaureate institution will have satisfied the general education requirements for the bachelor of interdisciplinary studies degree in IDS. A minimum of 30 semester hours must be completed in residence at USC Upstate after acceptance into the IDS program.
