Awareness of the importance of Information Technology (IT) for business is becoming wide spread. The industry has created more and more job opportunities for people who have interdisciplinary skills. Indeed, this program intends to bridge the gap between IT and business. In this program, the students have the opportunities to learn both domain and technical knowledge to face the tough challenges in the industry.<br>The program also prepares students to manage significant software development projects and lead teams of information technology professionals engaged in design, analysis, implementation, and service delivery. But because of the program's emphasis on both technical and domain knowledge, students who are primarily interested in management should instead apply to the Rutgers MBA. <br>Students who earn a Master of Information Technology and specialize in accounting information systems may pursue careers in Information Risk Management with public accounting firms, who need employees with expertise in computer auditing and risk management. These same skills can also be applied in internal auditing for the review and analysis of corporate computer systems.<br>Applicants are expected to have a bachelor's degree and basic knowledge in calculus and statistics. We particularly welcome applicants with undergraduate degrees in business, industrial engineering, library science, information technology, computer science, and related fields.<br>Students may take the program on a full-time or part-time basis. Full-time students can complete the program in one year. Part-time students must be able to attend classes during the day.
