MSIT in Project Management 		 
The Master of Science (MS) in Information Technology degree program seeks to provide students with a technical curriculum that covers a wide range of information technology (IT) topics. It is designed for those who are called upon to develop, implement, and operate information systems in a variety of organizations.
Graduates of the degree program will have a broad technical understanding of current and emerging technologies in the IT field, a familiarity with systems engineering concepts, and a solid foundation in the technological basis of the Internet. They will also have a greater grasp of current and future effects of the convergence of computer systems and telecommunications systems technologies.

In order to ensure that students gain the maximum benefit from such a curriculum, applicants to the MS in Information Technology degree program are required to have both an academic background in one of the engineering, physical science, computer science, or mathematical disciplines and substantive, practical experience in IT.

The Project Management (PMAN) specialization provides a strong theoretical and practical foundation in project management. This specialization is designed to serve managers and other professionals who wish to acquire, enhance, and certify their knowledge and skills to successfully design, integrate, develop, and manage projects. Students gain hands-on experience using various project management tools and techniques to successfully manage "real world" projects of varying sizes and degrees of complexity. Additionally, students apply emerging principles and methods in the modern project management field.

About this school

  
 
University of Maryland University College - Graduate School  

UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.

UMUC holds the highest honor given in Web education: the Sloan Consortium Award for Excellence in Institution-Wide Asynchronous Learning Network Programming.

Distance education students use state-of-the-art technology to connect to faculty members, coursemates, and advisors. The great advantage of distance education is that it gives students the flexibility to achieve an appropriate balance of work, family, community, and educational commitments.

UMUC's distance courses link students with their faculty member and coursemates online through the World Wide Web (WebTycho). Online courses are asynchronous, which means that students can sign on and participate at times convenient to them.

Online students need to be prepared to interact with their faculty member and coursemates in writing. Strong reading and writing skills in the English language are critical.

Typical elements of online courses include:

asynchronous, frequent student and faculty participation
lectures and assigned readings (from textbooks and online resources)
individual and group assignments (for example, case studies and discussion questions)
individual and group papers
literature analyses (graduate)
use of online library resources
online (graduate) and proctored (undergraduate) quizzes and examinations

UMUC is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, (215)662-5606.
