EDINBORO UNIVERSITY UNVEILS MASTER’S
PROGRAM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania President Frank G. Pogue announced a new
graduate program in Information Technology at a news conference at the University today. The
Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) combines courses in business and
information technology in a program designed to meet the needs of business.
“Our program marries the information technology and business functions to meet the
profitability and productivity objectives of businesses,” said Pogue. “It is the only MSIT
program in the area created in conjunction with leading professionals in the industry.”
According to Edinboro University officials, the MSIT program’s advantage over other
information technology degrees is its business content. “Because our graduates will understand
both business functions and information technology, they will be able to work side-by-side with
business managers to solve business problems,” said Mike Hannan, chairman of the University’s
business administration and economics department.
Graduates of the Edinboro program will be qualified for positions in network
management, database management, systems analysis and design, website development,
electronic commerce, and electronic security, and as information managers in departments such
as marketing, finance and production.
The 36 credit hours required for the degree include 24 hours in Information Technology
courses and nine hours of business courses including finance, marketing and management. The
program creates broad technological competence, then supplies coverage of business principles
and finally provides in-depth coverage of the technology issues facing virtually all enterprises
today.
