Whether you are in the process of transitioning out or preparing for a promotion, the Master of Science in Technology Commercialization (MSTC) may be the business master's degree that leads to attaining your goals. Designed so that you can continue meeting your current duties and responsibilities, you start this one year degree in late April/early May and walk across the stage with a diploma in hand the following May. Courses begin each semester with an intensive week and continue on alternating weekends with classes meeting Friday evening, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon; this means three weeks plus 23 weekends over the year. Classes may be attended in person in Austin or teleconferenced online; if neither is possible on a class weekend, the recorded video of the class sessions can be reviewed.
