The Master of Science in business information technology 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 (IT) 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 IT management positions.

This program—with courses in both the Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) and the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business (KGSB)—is a unique educational experience. It is different from an MBA because it includes a technical foundation; yet it is different from an MS in information technology because it includes a business perspective. By combining the best of both worlds, this program addresses today’s need for professionals who understand the core principles of management and IT in industry.

For international students: this is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify you to extend your post-graduation stay in the United States.
