A technology policy program is designed to equip students with the skills they need to work as administrators, policy makers, or managers of new technologies. Topics covered might include regulatory enforcement, rulemaking, or management best practices.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
