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.

A minor in Industrial Technology will help non-industrial technology students who wish to enter the field of manufacturing. Students will become familiar with the basic concepts of industrial practices and the machines and components that make up many manufacturing companies. This is combined with laboratory work to enhance these concepts and to give an understanding of how the many manufacturing systems are integrated. Academic advising is available from the Industrial Technology program in the Industrial Education Building.
A minimum of 21 hours must be taken to obtain the INDT minor. A minimum of 12 hours must be taken at MSU to receive the minor. Note that some choices requires others as prerequisites.
