Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Technical Management and Services
The Summer 2025 and Spring 2026 intakes for this program have been cancelled.
Description
The Technical Management and Services (TMAS) program is designed for emerging technical professionals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a technical program such as applied sciences or information technology.
Whether participants have industry experience or are just starting their career, this program equips emerging professionals with the skills needed to address supervisory and managerial needs in a technological environment. The technical manager's role is viewed as the link between business management and technical expertise and involves matching resources in uncoordinated areas to make and implement management decisions while simultaneously formulating technical strategies.
Note: This is a two-year program, though students can choose to complete the program in an accelerated form.
