About Global Technology and Development

Global Technology and Development, a concentration within the Master of Science in Technology degree program, was designed to integrate diverse areas of technical expertise and various academic disciplines with an awareness and understanding of how technology, processes of globalization, and society influence one another.

Global Technology and Development students will learn the answers to questions such as:

• How is the rapid pace of technological change affecting societies around the world?
• How does social change direct technological advance and innovation?
• Can we predict global change based on past and current trends in technological development and from evidence of the technological impact on societies?
• Will the expansion of technology increase or decrease the disparity of wealth around the world?
• How can technological solutions be applied to problems in developing countries?
• What will the new century hold in store for societies around the globe?
• Are we really witnessing a new world system defined by a globalization and integration of economies, cultures and political power?

If you want a comprehensive understanding of systems of technology, how they interface, and their role in global economic, political and social development and change, consider a Master of Science in Technology with a Global Technology and Development concentration.
