 Return to: Graduate School of Commerce
The M.S. MIT program teaches business and technology professionals how to deliver greater business value through the effective management and use of information technology (IT), within an intensive, collaborative learning environment. The program is based on 30 credits with a curriculum that synthesizes management, finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, communication, and leadership skills with technical knowledge of IT architecture, IT project management, enterprise IT management, and IT innovation and strategy.
The program is conducted in an executive format, which allows professionals the option of completing a master’s degree while remaining on their job. Students may complete their coursework in 12 months by attending classes every other Friday and Saturday in Charlottesville or in 16 months by attending classes every other Saturday in Reston, Virginia. Both sections join for an initial two-week residency in Charlottesville at the McIntire School of Commerce. The 16 month program meets for an additional one-week residency in Charlottesville mid-way through the program. Both sections follow the same 30 credit curriculum, just at a different pace.
