The Master of Science in Applied Information Technology (MAIT) program is designed to prepare students for increased responsibilities in the field of information technology (IT) by providing a wide range of technical, administrative and interpersonal skills expected of successful IT professionals. The program is held at our downtown campus located at 124 North First Street on the first floor of the
bCatalyst Building. There are three principal thematic areas in the program:
- Information technology foundations and tools
- Systems engineering and project management
- Individual, group and organization success factors
Most organizations, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, use information technology to meet their operational and strategic needs.
While the first two themes focus on the design and development of IT based projects, the third theme complements the more technical program elements by developing the student’s ability to better understand the needs of the organization and its users.
Students gain sensitivity to the human and cultural factors operating within an organization.
This knowledge facilitates the effective and efficient application of information technology.
The sensitivity to the non-technology factors are developed through extensive project experiences incorporating oral, written and presentation skills both within the IT department and between the IT department and non-IT departments. Interpersonal skills, both individual and group, are emphasized in order to better prepare the student for a successful career.
A cohort model is employed in which all students take the same courses each semester thereby progressing through the entire program together.
The program has a fixed sequence and there are no electives. Since students work collaboratively on a significant IT project, the cohort model enables them to develop stronger interpersonal skills. In other words, the cohort model facilitates a number of program outcomes more effectively than a non-cohort model.
The program consists of 30 graduate semester hours plus up to two introductory classes in the first summer. The introductory classes are waived for students who have an undergraduate degree in the discipline or substantial work experience. The program is offered in a two night per week format. The program is a fast paced and challenging way to revitalize your career or prepare for a new one in IT.
