The Rensselaer M.S. in Information Technology balances the study of management strategies and technology leadership with advanced course work in an IT concentration. Students complete a suite of core and capstone courses and also select three to five additional courses to complete their concentrations. Professional and research tracks are offered for the M.S. in IT degree. The core and Focus Track courses are designed to accommodate a wide range of backgrounds. If students have previously completed the basic required Core course, they must then complete a Supplemental Core course to add depth in that core area. For example, if an equivalent course to Database Systems was completed in a prior degree, the Core area requirement could be satisfied by taking Data Mining. Students may request transfer credit only for the elective, subject to the Grduate Program Director's and the Office of Graduate Education's approval. Additionally, no more than half of all credits used towards the M.S. in IT degree may be taken from courses offered by the Lally School of Management and Technology. These courses are coded MGMT.
