The MSIT Program is designed to provide a graduate degree program that blends the management and technology disciplines. This unique approach enables the acquisition of knowledge to match the demands placed upon supervisory and staff personnel. Each student is required to complete a twelve hour MSIT core. One course is technology based, two are management oriented and one is a research experience.
Electives are either technically or management based.
Robotics, CIM, MRP, JIT, Operations Research, and Engineering Economy have a technical base as well as implications for management. Training in these areas improves the ability of management to successfully utilize these techniques. MBA programs are usually longer than the MSIT program and do not emphasize technical course work. The MSIT program is more flexible in course selection. Although the best preparation for the MSIT Program is the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology, engineering, business administration, or computer science or related disciplines are also acceptable.
