Overview
Career Development

The MSIT program is committed to helping students progress in their careers, whether by advancing in their current companies or taking their career in a new direction. MSIT graduates who stay with their current employer are typically promoted to positions with more responsibility, managing more people, or taking on more sophisticated project management responsibilities. Many graduates also find that the program exposes them to new areas of IT and business, leading to new job interest and career growth opportunities.

Immediate Working World Application

As the students can customize the program to fit their desired area of specialization or concentration, assignments from class often have direct and immediate applicability to work.

Networking Events

In collaboration with the Student Advisory Board and Alumni Group, MSIT sponsors networking  activities for current students and alumni.
