• Student profile
• Current Students
• Job Placement

We seek students who want to become exceptional scholars and who will go on to research and teach at top universities across the country and around the world. You would fit our program well if you are interested in technology-related work regardless of whether you have a background in the social sciences, physical sciences, management or engineering.

Our program integrates organizational studies with technology and innovation studies in an interdisciplinary environment that transcends the distinctions between disciplines. If you come from a technology or scientific background we will teach you about the importance of organizations and social systems. If you have a social science or management background you will learn to understand the role of technology and innovation in shaping organizational action.

The job market for interdisciplinary Ph.Ds. with training in technology and organizations is expected to be strong over the next decade. We anticipate that most graduates will pursue academic positions in Schools of Communication (where the study of organization and technology is increasing swiftly), in Schools of Information (which are being rapidly founded across the country), in Schools of Engineering (that are increasingly interested in the social aspects of technical work), and in Business Schools (where the study of technology innovation and entrepreneurship is growing). Unlike the demand for Ph.D. tenure track faculty in many other disciplines, the number of tenure track openings in these schools exceeds the number of Ph.Ds. awarded each year, and that gap is increasing.

UCSB is world renowned for its interdisciplinary culture. Faculty and students are encouraged to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and to pioneer exciting new interdisciplinary fields and programs. The Technology Management Program is just such a program. Our faculty is world renowned for its commitment to interdisciplinarity. The faculty have backgrounds that range from engineering and management to the social sciences. We encourage our students to explore courses and to make links to faculty in the social sciences, environmental science, and other engineering departments. The Technology Management Program is housed in the College of Engineering ranked as the number one in the world among public universities for engineering research. The National Research Council ranks all the College of Engineering’s research programs among the top five for their disciplines.

Example Major-Specific Courses: Foundations of graduate business; ethical and legal aspects of management Concentrations Available: Data analytics; information technology management; policy and organizational change These days, an online degree might seem like the obvious choice. However, distance learning is only the right fit for a specific type of student . To determine if that’s you, ask yourself a few key questions: What’s your budget? Distance learning is a solid option for students looking to save money, as online students generally avoid paying campus-related costs such as housing and transportation. Additionally, some public universities allow students who exclusively enroll in online courses to pay in-state or otherwise discounted tuition rates. What are your other obligations? Online learning is often the right choice for parents and students who plan to work full or part time while enrolled. Many of the ranked programs in our guide were built for business professionals who want to complete their master’s degrees around their jobs. What’s your learning style? This is possibly the biggest question when determining whether or not online learning is right for you. If you are disciplined, organized and self-motivated, you can likely succeed in a less structured distance learning environment. If you crave regular interactions with a peer group or professor or prefer the structure of a physical classroom, campus-based learning might be a better choice. There are two important types of accreditation: institutional and programmatic. Institutional accreditation is the more important of the two. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) and Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) oversee the agencies that manage the institutional accreditation process. These agencies are each responsible for the schools within a group of states, vetting these schools for the quality of their academics, faculty and finances, among other areas. You should only enroll at institutionally accredited schools, as this is the only way to qualify for federal financial aid. You can check a prospective school’s accreditation by visiting the accreditation page on its website or checking the directory on CHEA’s website. Programmatic accreditation provides a similar vetting service in specific fields and disciplines. Its importance varies by field; however, programmatic accreditation is relatively important in business and management. With master’s in management programs, keep an eye out for accreditation from three organizations: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the International Accreditation Council for Business Education, or the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs. Consider Your Future Goals An online master’s in management program is generally a good option for an early career business professional who aspires to managerial and supervisory roles in their field. Some people claim that a master’s in management is a more practical degree than an M.B.A. , focused more on minutiae and data such as budgeting and forecasting. As such, many schools build their programs with working business professionals in mind. To that end, many online master’s in management programs do not include field experience or practicum experiences or internships. If you want your program to include this opportunity, you’ll have to research more carefully on the front end. Since management is a general field, some online programs in the field offer more specific concentrations in areas such as nonprofit management, human resource management or supply chain management. If you know you want to enter one of these subfields, make sure to apply to a program with the right concentration option. Understand Your Expenses and Financing Options Per-credit tuition rates for the 10 ranked programs in our guide ranged from $347 to $775. Over the course of a typical 30- to 36-credit master’s in management program, these rates translate to approximately $10,000 to $28,000 in total tuition. As of the 2021–2022 academic year, the National Center for Education Statistics found that the average college charged $20,513 in annual tuition. For a one- or two-year master’s program, this translates to roughly $20,000 to $40,000 in total tuition. Make sure to fill out the FAFSA to finance your master’s program. The FAFSA can lead to loans, scholarships and grants. You can pursue similar opportunities through nonprofit organizations and schools. You can also seek out graduate assistantships through your school, but these opportunities are often reserved for on-campus students. Is a master’s in management worth it? It depends on your goals and circumstances. However, if you hope to advance to a managerial role in a business field, a master’s in management is often worth it, equipping you with qualifications and skills necessary to advance your career. Is a master’s in management the same as an M.B.A.? No, they are two separate degrees. Some would say that a master’s in management is a more practical degree, focused on budgeting and forecasting as opposed to big-picture thinking. A master’s in management is often built for early career business professionals, while an M.B.A. targets career changers and accelerators. How long does a master’s in management take? The programs in our guide generally take between 12 and 24 months to complete depending on how many courses you take per term.

Human Capital Management (HCM) refers to initiatives, strategies, and activities designed to optimize the capabilities and overall potential of a workforce. The program aims to support the alignment between an organization's strategic aspirations and its ability to meet those strategic objectives. What is human capital analytics and technology? Human capital analytics and technology is the use of talent data, tools, techniques, and new technologies to improve talent and business outcomes. It helps organizations optimize the employee experience, improve productivity, and develop actionable talent acquisition and retention strategies. Why is a dual degree in HCM and HCAT important? The dual degree aligns HR practices with business goals and data-driven decision-making. It ensures effective talent acquisition, hiring process, employee development, and performance management. Human capital analytics  professionals are critical to helping organizations use the increasing amounts of data available to make data-informed talent and business decisions. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a faster-than-average growth rate of 8% through 2031 for HR specialist occupations such as human capital analytics. How long does it take to earn a dual master's degree at NYU SPS? The dual MS in HCM and MS in HCAT program takes two years of full-time study or up to five years of part-time study to complete. With a program designed to accommodate working professionals, after completing the program requirements, electives, and their capstones or theses, students earn two master of science degrees alongside the advanced training and business acumen that come with it. What does SHRM-aligned curriculum mean for me? The courses that make up the MS program incorporate the elements of the Society of Human Resource Management competency model. This alignment ensures students will be exposed to key skills necessary for future success in the field of HRM practice. What's the importance of getting a STEM-designated degree? The number of occupations that require a combination of critical thinking, technical competence and digital skills continue to grow. The US Department of Labor projects that STEM occupations will grow by almost 11% through 2031, more than twice as fast as the growth for other occupations. The NYU SPS MS in Human Capital Analytics and Technology degree has been designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a STEM program. This is particularly important for international students with an F-1 visa who are interested in gaining work experience in the U.S. after their degree completion. Earning a degree from a STEM designated program allows international students to extend their Optional Practical Training (OPT) for an additional year (up to two years total). If I have an F-1 Visa, when can I apply for a STEM-extension for the dual degree? Upon successful completion of the MS in Human Capital Management degree, students can apply for STEM extension when they advance into the MS in Human Capital Analytics and Technology program.

Start Your Application Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content Skip to footer The threat intelligence division of S2 Grupo (Cyber) GRU (VIII): Structure. Unit 74455 April 02, 2019 Apparently, Unit 74455 is linked to operations of disinformation, influence, propaganda … which would reconfirm the broad concept of information warfare of the Russian military doctrine. We have already referred to it repeatedly, and to the mixture of the purely technical field with the psychological field (dezinformatsiya, spetspropaganda, kompromat, etc.). In fact, the US DIA speaks of the confrontation of Russian information (informatsionnoye protivoborstvo, IPb) as the term used by the Government for the information war conflict, with two major measures: technical, as a classic CNO, and psychological, as the attempt to manipulate the population in favour of Russian interests ([1]), speaking openly of “cyber” PSYOP. The first of these measures would correspond to Unit 26165 and the second to Unit 74455. There is very little information available in open sources in relation to Unit 74455; its relationship with the technological field can be confirmed with some scientific references (articles and books). For example, in the journal “Information Control and Measurement Systems”, the name of E.E. Nazarov appears, as a scientist and employee of the Military Unit 74455. This identity participated in two articles: “ Algorithm to generate type interference based on the rapid evaluation of signal parameters ” and “ Methods to estimate the errors in the determination of the coordinates of the airborne radar carrier by a spatially distributed RTR system “. Although both titles were translated from Russian using automatic translation systems (thank you, Google) and may not be entirely correct, we can guess that people from this Unit work on topics such as jamming (and anti-jamming) signals; in other words, electronic warfare. Reference to this Unit is also made, in particular to Mikhail Alekseevich Eremeev as Unit Director and Doctor of Technical Sciences, co-author of several books and scientific articles on cryptography; without knowing whether or not the names and surnames are common, someone with this same identification is also -or has been- a professor in the Department of Special Instruments Technologies of the Moscow Technological University and a member of the Editorial Board of the publication “Proceedings of the A.F. Mozhaisky Military Space Academy “. The unit is located, as we said before and according to Mueller’s accusation, at number 22 Kirova Street, in the Khimki district, Moscow. It’s based in the building known as “The Tower”, although in some reference – very possibly for administrative purposes, the address of the GRU (the famous “Aquarium”) is quoted directly at 76 Khoroshevskoe. Mueller identifies only three members of the Unit, according to the following organization chart: Unit 74455 used the information stolen by Unit 26165 for the benefit of Russian interests, according to Mueller’s accusation. In other words, it is in charge of “cyber” psychological operations. According to the nomenclature of the DIA cited above: it handles the information that Unit 26165 steals from its objectives, for which it establishes and maintains a technological infrastructure (profiles in social networks, websites …) with which to exploit this information. For example, this Unit is responsible for the handling of Guccifer 2.0 or DCLeaks sockpuppets using false identities, anonymized connections, start-up and operation of websites, etc. [1] DIA.

According to Forbes , the expansion of digital and information technology into all areas of life has started to create a noticeable social impact, increasing the speed at which people communicate, influencing the cadence of our communication, and even transcending things like language barriers.  For professional communicators, grappling with emergent technology is nothing new. Since communication is influenced and mediated by many factors, the field has always been dynamic. Embracing change and staying ahead of new technologies is one of the primary ways communication professionals can remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.   To help communication professionals develop in-demand skills and stay ahead of the technology curve, Purdue University’s online Master of Science in Communication program has launched a new concentration in digital media and communication technologies. The concentration, which can be completed while students pursue their master’s in communication, focuses on emerging technologies in social media, data analytics, AI and more.   This innovative new concentration reflects the Brian Lamb School of Communication ’s commitment to offering cutting-edge education opportunities that reflect current and future trends in the communication industry. Students in the concentration will complete hands-on coursework that utilizes new communication technologies and methods, such as AI and generative language models, social media management, data storytelling, and digital media analytics.  “We live in a perpetual beta environment, where today’s communication practitioner needs to understand emerging technologies and how best to leverage them,” said Matt Charles, continuing online lecturer and the new director of online master’s programs in the Brian Lamb School for Communication. “Led by top lecturers who live and breathe this space, the digital media and communication technologies concentration provides insights into this world and how to best navigate it.”  We live in a perpetual beta environment, where today’s communication practitioner needs to understand emerging technologies and how best to leverage them. Matt Charles Continuing Online Lecturer and Director of Online Master’s Programs  Brian Lamb School for Communication  The concentration in digital media and communication technologies adds to the diverse offerings in the online master’s in communication program, which include concentrations in strategic communication and public relations; branding and marketing; management and leadership; and health communication. The program also offers two online graduate certificates in strategic communication management and communication and leadership, which give students even more opportunities to customize their graduate education around their career goals.   “The Lamb School’s online M.S. in Communication, and associated graduate certificates, offer students the flexibility they need to earn a degree while maintaining a healthy work-life balance,” said Charles. “Having earned a graduate degree primarily online, I believe this is a non-negotiable, especially as we live in an ever-increasing non-stop 24/7 world where the communicator always is on-call.”   To learn more about this new concentration, please visit the online Master of Science in Communication’s webpage.   Get the Reddit app A subreddit for those who enjoy learning about flags, their place in society past and present, and their design characteristics The flag of Elektrostal, Moscow Oblast, Russia which I bought there during my last visit By continuing, you agree to our User Agreement and acknowledge that you understand the Privacy Policy .
