Master of Science in Information Technology Program Description
The Master of Science in Information Technology (MS-IT) prepares students for mid-level careers in information technology in a variety of business settings. The graduate student is introduced to how information flows through an enterprise while presenting effective uses of technology and its applications. Since information essentially shapes an organization, the student learns the effects of managing this information, both theoretically and practically.

MS-Information Management-Project Management
The Master of Science in Information Management - Project Management (IM-PM) integrates project management principles with information technology. Although IM-PM and MBA-PM programs both provide sound essentials in project management principles based on the PMBOK® Guide, this program offers a strong information technology foundation. Additionally, the graduate student will learn the IT project's life cycle and how to insure every aspect of a project is under control and technical objectives are delivered.
MS-Information Management Technology
The Master of Science in Information Management Technology (IM-Tech) program, like the MS-IT program, offers the same foundational base of IT knowledge; however, there are a few distinct differences. MS-IT course topics include systems design and network systems design, while IM-Tech course topics cover ethics, organizational behavior and managing change.
