The Department of Industrial Studies offers majors in technology education and industrial technology management. The industrial technology management major has options in building construction management, industrial technology management, and safety management. Minors are available in computer integrated manufacturing, drafting and product design, electronics technology, industrial power and control systems, industrial sales and service, materials and materials processing, occupational safety, plastics processing technology, and production and manufacturing management.

Students who complete the major in industrial technology management, with an option in industrial technology management can expect to enter industry in technical, managerial, and staff positions in the areas of production and manufacturing, supervision, technical sales and service, and quality assurance. Courses required within this option include industrial technology management, technical areas, safety, business administration, economics, English, and computer science. Students are strongly encouraged to select courses that support their defined career objectives.

The option in building construction management prepares graduates to enter middle management positions in the construction industry.

The option in safety management prepares graduates to enter manufacturing and construction industries, business, consulting agencies, insurance companies, and government agencies in management positions.

A cooperative education and internship program is administered by the department. Through this supervised work experience with approved employers, students gain the advantage of up-to-date knowledge and practical experience related to their major and area of specialization. Students wishing to complete an industrial internship must meet the following requirements: (A) Completion of basic skills courses. The following general education requirements must be completed before a student will be permitted to enroll in industrial internship: ENGL 1130, 1230, Speech 1010, and mathematics (three credits). (B) Be in good academic standing; be classified as a junior (60 credits); meet (A) above; be approved and registered for the credits prior to the internship or cooperative education experience; and have completed 18 credits of industrial studies course work. A maximum of eight credits may be counted towards a student's degree. However, two credits in 4990 Industrial Internship are required.
