Program Overview

The Master of Management/Master of Science in Information Technology and Management (ITM) dual-degree program at Illinois Institute of Technology is designed for graduate students who want to pursue management, academic, and research careers in the information technology field.

This powerful combination of STEM and business will provide you with the foundational technical IT skills and expertise in business strategy and management to advance your career into key leadership roles in information technology, research, and software and systems development at companies ranging from startups to large corporations, as well as in the consulting, academic, governmental, and nonprofit sectors.
