Master of Computer Information Technology with Emphasis in Data Analytics

Program Overview

The CIT Master’s program prepares students to advance their careers in the information technology domain as technology supervisors and project managers, business analysts, lead coders and designers, and researchers. Given the pervasiveness of technology worldwide, students outside the information technology domain may weave their prior industry experience with information technology theories, processes, and best practices to take on roles within the information technology industry. Students who would benefit most from completing this degree include individuals pursuing career advancement in the computer information technology domain as well as individuals transitioning their careers from non-technical backgrounds to the computer information technology domain.

The program emphasizes skills related to the interplay between computer information technology and its supervision, the organizational and human impact of technology, technical innovations, the global reach of technology, and research and associated methods as applied to the computer information technology domain. Theories and models associated with computer information technology, best practices, and current research and examples will provide students with learning experiences rooted in both theory and application of computer information technology concepts and methods to solve business problems. Students will also develop skills associated with critical thinking and reading, reflection, research, analysis, problem solving, and technical and scholarly writing.
