The Master of Science in Management of Information
Technologies (M.S.-M.I.T.) degree, the first of its kind
in Michiana, enables graduates to effectively plan and
manage complex information technologies for their
firms and to successfully advance their manufacturing/
service organizations into the twenty-first century.
Given the burgeoning influence of information technology
in almost all organizations, Michiana businesses must
learn to manage information technology to their best
advantage.
The M.S.-M.I.T. degree is one of the best professional
career investments for area managers. This degree
significantly enhances the information technology
management capabilities of our graduates and their
organizations.
To manage information effectively, organizations
need employees proficient in information systems and
management. This program provides expertise in both.
Graduates can assume a variety of responsibilities,
from the development of electronic commerce, to
the management of large-scale business process
reengineering and enterprise resource planning.
Graduates gain proficiency in areas such as: electronic
commerce, managerial decision support systems,
enterprise resource planning, business process
reengineering, database management systems,
telecommunication systems, web design, object oriented
programming, supply chain management, and artificial
intelligence systems. Upon graduation, students receive
a certificate of completion of SAP courses. The M.S.-
M.I.T. Program may be completed in two years full or
part-time, and all courses are offered in the evening.
