Welcome to the
Texas State University-San Marcos
Department of Technology

The Department of Technology
is an academic department in the College of Science at Texas
State. As its general mission, the department prepares people
for technical and professional careers in industry and education.
Many well-equipped laboratories in the new R F Mitte
Complex form the heart of the Technology facilities.
Approximately 450 majors and 320 minors take
part in the year-round course offerings presented by the faculty.
An excellent record of job placement has been established
for graduates over the past twenty years. It is not uncommon
to find many more employer requests for students than graduates
to fill open positions.
The Department of Technology offers the Bachelor of Science in Technology (BST) and Master
of Science in Technology (MST) degrees.
Please see our Undergraduate
Program and Graduate Program
pages for additional information about our many degrees.
The majors in the BST degree are Industrial
Technology and Engineering Technology. Each major prepares the student for employment
in industry, in either the public or private sector. Technology
graduates generally work in management or in technical/engineering
fields. Professional careers in manufacturing, construction,
and computers are typical.
Technology Specialization by Transfer - Up
to twenty-four semester hours of approved courses in a junior/community
college industrial/engineering technology program may be applied
toward the major requirement in industrial technology or engineering
technology. These transfer hours must be approved by a department
advisor and the chair of the department prior to admission
to the program.
The Master of Science in Technology (MST)
is a Masters program designed for students interested in further
developing their technical and technical management skills.
The degree consists of 24 hours from the Technology Department
and 12 hours from an outside department. Many courses are
offered in the evening to accommodate working students.
