Bachelor of Science in Technical Resource Management
Are you ready to take that next step in your professional/technical career?
If your present professional/technical background is in manufacturing, power generation, transportation, medical/healthcare, office management, electronics, construction, or any other technically-oriented industry, TRM could be the path to career advancement. The Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Resource Management (TRM) is designed to supplement your technical training and work experience by preparing you for upward mobility as a team leader, supervisor, or manager in your field of expertise.
The TRM curriculum builds upon an individual’s educational and occupational experiences through courses selected to meet technical career objectives. It is ideally suited for graduates of occupational training programs in accredited institutions of higher education. If you have technical training that is accredited and would like to expand your skills and credentials in order to increase your career opportunities, you should consider the TRM degree.
