The education and training of globally savvy professionals in science, engineering and information technology (IT) are important for the long-term viability of many American firms today. Future business leaders must: appreciate the challenges and opportunities of IT management in the context of 21st century global organizations, understand the international aspects of IT leadership and management as a basis for integrating a global and multi-cultural view, learn about the various roles, responsibilities, skills, and concepts essential to being a successful IT manager in the context of a dynamic technological environment, a diverse workforce, a global economy, and a concern for ethics and social responsibility in the development and deployment of systems. The College of Information Science and Technology (CIST) and UNO's International Studies and Programs (ISP) have joined to offer an interdisciplinary ?Global IT Leadership Management? (GITLM) specialization in both the International Studies (INST) undergraduate program and the CIST undergraduate program in Management Information Systems.
