Master of Science in Information Technology Teach Out
Program Description:
Investments in information management processes and the systems to support them as well as the costs associated with storing the information can be significant, even for small firms. Information management is not typically part of secondary school education and is seldom part of efforts to introduce computing in college. As a result, most people in business have little appreciation for or even basic ideas about information technology let alone what the issues are, the tool and technology options, or the best practice solutions. Aspen University’s Master of Science in Information Technology provides a solid foundation and the requisite knowledge and skills for the professional to join a firm’s IT team and quickly add value.
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
