Program Description:

In 1992, RIT became the very first university in the United States to offer a baccalaureate degree in the, then, emerging computing discipline of information technology. Since that time many academic institutions,both nationally and internationally. have followed our lead and added information technology to their degree portfolios. Our Master of Science in information technology, offered since 1995, extends this leadership position.

Our MS in information technology is a unique and flexible program that allows the student to craft his or her own program of study within the broad range of the information technology computing discipline. Study areas include website development and multimedia, human computer interaction and information architecture, electronic commerce, database development and administration, application development and management, and networking and system security.
