MBA - Information Technology Concentration
Grad Campus
(Graduate School)
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The MBA in Information Technology is designed to assist IT professionals in advancing their careers by providing a solid foundation of graduate-level business courses to complement their IT experience and coursework. A major challenge in today’s business environment is how professionally competent practitioners make the transition to managing people and business operations without losing their professional knowledge and expertise.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to demonstrate the ability to
- Adapt and innovate to solve management issues in unpredictable environments.
- Critically analyze and question knowledge claims.
- Solve business challenges using strategic theories, models and/or tools.
- Analyze ethical issues and socially responsible business practices in complex organizational situations.
- Analyze management issues with a global perspective.
Graduates will learn executive business competencies, professional leadership, and strategic and creative thinking skills that will help them ethically solve problems that occur in the global business environment in culturally sensitive ways.
This program allows IT professionals to develop both their professional skills (concentration courses) and management skills while learning to think strategically in a complex, cost-competitive, knowledge-based environment.
This MBA concentration will allow successful graduates to excel at both leading and doing. In this challenging employment environment, IT professionals must not only be competent in their fields, but be known as “can-do” leaders. This combination gives our graduates that clear edge to succeed.
