Master of Information Technology
This program is intended primarily for students who will later pursue doctoral study in information technology or accounting information systems. Students in the program take many of the same courses as students in the Rutgers Business School doctoral programs in information technology and accounting information systems.
The program also prepares students to manage significant software development projects and lead teams of information technology professionals engaged in design, analysis, implementation, and service delivery. But because of the program's emphasis on theory, students who are primarily interested in management should instead apply to the Rutgers master of business administration (M.B.A.) degree program.
Applicants are expected to have a bachelor's degree and basic knowledge in calculus and statistics. We particularly welcome applicants with undergraduate degrees in business, industrial engineering, library science, information technology, computer science, and related fields.
Students may take the program on a full-time or
part-time basis. Full-time students can complete the program in one year. Part-time students must be able to attend classes during the day.
