What it is	You study how to manage technology within business organizations — combining business strategy, IT systems, and hands-on management skills. Unlike a pure computer science or business degree, this program focuses specifically on the intersection: how companies implement and lead technology projects. It suits people who want to work in tech-related roles but prefer understanding the business and people side over deep programming.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
