A Master of Science in Information Technology is a type of postgraduate
academic master's degree usually offered in a University's College of Business
and in the recent years in integrated Information Science & Technology
colleges. The MSIT degree is designed for those managing information
technology, especially the information systems development process. The MSIT
degree is functionally equivalent to a Master of Information Systems
Management, which is one of several specialized master's degree programs
recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
A joint committee of Association for Information Systems and Association for
Computing Machinery members develop a model curriculum for the Master of
Science in Information Systems. The most recent version of the MSIS Model
Curriculum was published in 2006. The course of study is concentrated
around the Information Systems discipline. The core courses are Systems
analysis, Systems design, Data Communications, Database design, Project
management and Security. The degree typically includes coursework in both
computer science and business skills, but the core curriculum might depend on
the school and result in other degrees and specializations, including:
Master of Science M.Sc.(I.T) Master in Information Science
Master of Science in Information Systems Management
Master of Science in Information Technology
Master of Computer Science Master of Science in Information Systems
Master of Science in Management of Information Technology

Particularly in India one program called the MSIT Program, works in collaboration
with Carnegie Mellon and the state government of Andhra Pradesh to offer a
multi university inter disciplinary master's degree at several universities
including IIIT Hyderabad, JNTU-Hyderabad, JNTU-Kakinada and in
JNTU-Ananthapur. Pune University Under Computer Science
Department provides Master of Computer Applications(MCA) degree.
In Sri Lanka, University of Colombo School of Computing offers a Master of
Information Technology program. This institute also offers another two MIT
programs which are specialized in e-Learning and multimedia technologies.
In the United States, graduate programs for this field of study that confer
Master of Science degrees may be named differently across numerous
universities; some examples include: Master of Science in Information
Technology at the Northwestern University.
Master of Science in Information Technology at the Kennesaw State
University. Master of Science in Management in
Information Technology at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of
Virginia. Master of Science in Information Science
at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University Bloomington.
