Technological advances are developing nonstop. Both business units and IT units see these advances and what they can mean for an organization’s growth, but because of siloed thinking, the two units rarely align in what the business needs right now and how IT needs to accomplish it. This creates inefficiencies that hinder an organization’s growth and success. In fact, according to recent studies, as many as 85 percent of all U.S. IT projects are considered failures, wasting valuable resources and stymieing growth.
With a STEM-designated Master of Science in Business Information Technology (MS BIT) from Drexel’s LeBow College of Business and the College of Computing & Informatics (CCI), you can be the bridge that connects the divide between business and IT and the go-to resource every company needs to operate at a higher level. Depending on your background, this interdisciplinary program can equip you to be the business professional who can lead IT projects with an eye toward the business goals or the IT expert who can lead the business. Either way, you’ll be prepared to meet business goals, solve organizational problems and manage the change and innovation necessary for success.
Whether your career so far has been focused on the management side of business or on the technology side, our MS BIT program is designed to make you a well-rounded leader. The program elevates you to be the one with the skills to discover and implement technology solutions that will transform your organization as a whole. Our curriculum brings together the best of LeBow and CCI to focus your education on the intersection of business and applied information technology, ensuring you have both the business knowledge and the technological skills companies need.
