Section I: Request
Utah Valley University requests the addition of the Integrated Technology emphasis within the existing
Technology Management (TM) Bachelor of Science degree effective Fall, 2011. This change will have
minimal impact on the primary activities of the department basis. This action was approved by the UVU
Board of Trustees on December 9, 2010.
Section II: Need
This emphasis is being requested, because each year UVU has a number of students (4-5) who have 45
technical credits in two related disciplines. Examples might include Computer Science and Information
Technology or Drafting and Construction. The attached list (see Appendix A: Curriculum, Emphasis in
Integrated Technology) contains further examples of related technical areas within major categories. This
new emphasis will allow such students to enter the TM degree to advance in their education.
Section III: Institutional Impact
This new emphasis will not affect enrollments in instructional programs of affiliated departments or
programs since UVU is already enrolling these students on a case-by-case basis and requires the addition
of no new courses. No changes will be required in any existing administrative structures, faculty and staff,
physical facilities, or equipment.
Section IV: Finances
No new funds are required and any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution will
be minimal.
