master of science in technology and innovation
The Master of Science in Technology and Innovation (MSTI) program is a curriculum focused on the adoption of new technology and/or the usages of existing technology in new ways. The program core builds a strong advanced theoretical and practical framework for how technology and business interconnect, and each specialization focuses on the efficiencies, productivity, quality, competitive positioning, and strategy concerning a specific area of how to profit from technological innovation.
The MSTI program offers a carefully-designed core and a flexible set of specializations allowing students to focus on the advanced skills most relevant to their professional careers. The different specializations build upon a strong business oriented core that provides relevant management and strategy context for the individual specializations, thus enhancing the impact and value of each specialized area. The program concludes with an individualized project that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to an integrated, sophisticated project, suitable for inclusion in their portfolio.
The MSTI program prepares students for senior-level careers in information technology in a variety of business settings. All organizations today rely on computer and information technology to conduct business and operate more efficiently. Information technology projects generally are led by managers who have an understanding of the underlying business concepts and needs, the requirements of end users and stakeholders, and an understanding of the technologies needed to address the requirements. The core courses lay a firm foundation of essential concepts, principles, skills and strategies for the information technology professional, providing the knowledge and skills needed for informed decision-making and effective leadership.
