The AIM Program was designed in response to rapid development in information technologies and the resulting impact on organizations. The program provides managers and other professionals with the knowledge and tools to operate as leaders in an evolving information environment. The degree was specifically designed to serve mid-career professionals working with technology. The AIM Program is based on the belief that information managers must have more than an understanding of new technologies. They must combine knowledge in management, business, and information design with an awareness of high technology in a global context in order to meet the challenges of the future.
