MS in Information Technology

UMass Boston's MS in Information Technology (MSIT) is a STEM-designated 10-course, 30-credit degree programme. To receive the MSIT, students must complete 10 courses: Required MSIT Courses, Required MSIT Electives, and the Required MSIT Capstone. Four (4) pre-requisite courses must be satisfied or waived through prior relevant coursework based on a review of transcripts.* Advancements in IT have revolutionized nearly every facet of human existence. Individuals and organizations communicate, connect, collaborate, and compete through increasingly sophisticated computer networks, systems, and devices. In a rapidly globalizing economy, the knowledge of how to effectively deploy IT assets to manage customer relationships, data collection, and analysis, supply chains, workflows, or security concerns can make the difference between success and failure for individual managers and entire corporations. Coursework and student resources help students develop communication, presentation, and analytical skills, as well as the technical, quantitative, and decision-making abilities required of contemporary managers.
