Master of Science in Information Technology
A Master of Science in Information Technology is a type of postgraduate academic master's degree usually offered in a University's College of Business and in the recent years in integrated Information Science & Technology colleges. The MSIT degree is designed for those managing information technology, especially the information systems development process. The MSIT degree is functionally equivalent to a Master of Information Systems Management, which is one of several specialized master's degree programs recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
A joint committee of Association for Information Systems and Association for Computing Machinery members develop a model curriculum for the Master of Science in Information Systems. The most recent version of the MSIS Model Curriculum was published in 2016.
