Northwestern University's Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program is excited to recognize its new graduates at graduation ceremonies in June 2026 and December, 2025. Our students have worked hard to earn the MSIT degree. While some have managed this degree as part-time students with full-time jobs, others quit their jobs to be full-time students with the MSIT program. We congratulate them and celebrate all of their hard work.
