The MBA in Information Technologies is designed to provide an extensive base of knowledge of managerial responsibilities. An MBA program is designed for students who desire a more general management background than an MS in Information Technologies, which has more of a specialization and focus in the field. Additional information on the Information Technology program may be obtained from the Information Technologies and Decision Sciences (ITDS) department or departmental advisor.
