Technology Teacher Education Major (TTE)

Business Technology (BT) and Industrial/Technical Education (ITE) Concentrations
Major Advisors: Pamela Bracey, 258; Connie Forde, 101 IED Building

The Technology Teacher Education/Business Technology degree prepares students to teach business courses at the high school and career and technology centers, teach Information Communication and Technology I and II at the middle school, teach Career Pathways Experience (cooperative education), and Technology Foundations. Graduates acquire a national certification in computer literacy as well as certification to teach online. The TTE/Business Technology degree is offered as a face-to-face program and a distance learning degree.

Licensure areas with Mississippi Department of Education licensure number are as follows:

  • 105 Business Education
  • 111 Computer Applications
  • 917 Career Pathway Experience
  • 952 Accounting and Finance
  • 955 Management
  • 956 Marketing and Economics
  • 981 Information and Communication Technology I
  • 982 Information and Communication Technology II
  • 984 Technology Foundations

The MSU Bulletin is not the final source of information; departmental advisement is important for course sequence and selection. Students should get advisement and approval from their MSU advisors for course scheduling.

 

Information Technology Services Major (ITS) non-teaching

Major Advisors: Chien Yu, 259; Vicki Keel, 114; Maria Earle, 261.

This curriculum is designed to prepare students for the use of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and hardware and the development and implementation of information technology end user support and information technology project management.

Minor in Business Administration. By completing the business requirements for the ITS degree, students may be eligible to receive a minor in Business Administration from the College of Business. ITS majors interested in a minor in business administration should contact an academic coordinator in room 106 McCool Hall.

MSU Bulletin is not the final source of information; department advisement is critically important for course sequence and selection. Students should always get advisement and approval from MSU advisor for course scheduling.

 

Industrial Technology Major (INDT) non-teaching

Major Advisors: Dr. John Wyatt, Mickey Giordano and Mervin Mize
Office: 110 IED Building

This curriculum is designed for students who want to prepare for employment leading to supervisory and management positions in the production, automation, maintenance or logistics areas of industry. The role of the Industrial Technology graduate is that of a facilitator of ideas from senior management to the production floor. Successful completion of the four-year curriculum would provide an excellent background in science, mathematics, design and human relations. This is coupled with the practical use of both manual and automated machinery and the associated tools, as well as knowledge of industrial manufacturing processes, materials and logistics.

To this extent the curriculum is divided into three concentrations:

  • Industrial Automation
  • Industrial Distribution
  • Manufacturing & Maintenance Management

These concentrations are designed to give students a specialization that they can take into the workforce and build upon throughout their industrial career. Graduates should quickly become proficient in both the supervisory and administrative roles of dealing with personnel, and depending upon the concentration selected, the graduate should become adept in the various aspects of the manufacture, distribution and automation of industrial products and processes. Employment opportunities are good.

The MSU Bulletin is not the final source of information. Departmental advisement is critically important for the course sequence and selection. Students should always get advisement and approval from their MSU advisor for course scheduling.

Upper division courses (3000 level and up) must be taken at a senior college or university. See a faculty advisor for prerequisites and proper course sequence.

NOTE: This curriculum lends itself well to a minor in Business Administration or Marketing.
