Master of Science - Information Technology - Cyber Security

The Master of Science degree in Information Technology (MSIT) provides information systems and computer science professionals with the opportunity to acquire technical knowledge in a variety of specialized information technology fields and the management skills to create, plan, organize, lead, and control the information technology in their organizations. This program is best suited for students with a technical background and preferably with an undergraduate or graduate degree in information systems or computer science.

Information technology managers require a different education than that offered by a general Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, in today’s rapidly changing technological environment. In addition to an in-depth scientific or engineering knowledge and on-the-job experience, they must have substantial managerial knowledge about planning and leading technical and scientific projects, directing information technology system design, developing professional and technical employees and integrating the various functions of the organization.
