Quinnipiac University: Master of Science in Information Technology

Accelerate Your IT Career

The MSIT is a business degree for people who manage information technology systems and staff, or who aspire to be IT managers. Quinnipiac University began the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program in 2001 directly in response to a growing industry need for leaders in IT management.

The Leading Edge

Unlike other programs taught in engineering departments, the QU MSIT is taught in Quinnipiac’s School of Business. It combines in-depth grounding in current IT technologies and a practical, hands-on business format. This is the leading edge where there are very few competing programs.

Rigorous and Fast Paced

This rigorous, fast-paced, and demanding curriculum appeals strongly to working IT professionals preparing to move into management. The program may also be appropriate for people in fields with intensive IT support experience or for recent undergraduates with IT degrees who wish to enter the job market with a competitive edge.

Meets the Demands of Working Professionals

Originally taught on campus, the MSIT moved to a completely online curriculum in 2010, in response to requests from working professionals asking for a more flexible schedule. Coursework remains cutting edge, team based, and collaborative.

Highly Supportive

With a cohort of experienced IT professionals from around the country, a highly collaborative environment, and a current student-to-faculty ratio of only 10:1, student support is a hallmark of Quinnipiac’s MSIT program. Students connect and learn from each other and from the individual attention of our distinguished professors.
