Master of Science in Information Management
Program Description:
In a competitive world, it’s been said that information is power. The true power comes from having the right amount of the right information properly processed and in the hands of the right people at the right time in a useful form. Properly managing the processes of information gathering, assessment, processing, distributing, interpreting, deciding, and acting in a timely and appropriate manner differentiates the winners from the rest.
Aspen University’s Master of Science in Information Management program is designed to provide the learner with the foundational vocabulary, concepts, knowledge and skills Information Management professionals require, including the impact of technology change, and the need to appreciate organizational behaviors, especially during times of stress and change.
In addition to helping students build a targeted set of skills through traditional course work, prior to graduation students will complete an individualized project that will allow them to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to create an integrated, sophisticated project that is suitable for inclusion in their portfolio.
Degree Requirements: 36 Credits
