MS in Business Information Technology

Master of Science 2011-2012

Business Information Technology

The Master of Science in Business Information Technology is a joint degree between the College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) and the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business (KGSB). This degree prepares students to meet today's need for individuals who understand the core principles of both business and technology in corporations, health care institutions, and government agencies. Many of these people work as liaisons between the Information Technology department and a functional business unit. Others work within departments that are information dependent and rely heavily on information technology. The program provides a solid base for those interested in moving their career forward through project management or information technology management positions. The program also provides students a selection of courses for a business foundation.
