21-Month Track
For applicants interested in the opportunity for a global learning experience and professional development on two continents, in two cultures, which is especially valuable for students who intend to pursue a career in consulting, the 21-month track is designed to position you for a fast-track career in IT. This four semester program offers students the chance to spend their first two semesters of study at Heinz’s Adelaide campus and their final two semester’s at our Pittsburgh campus.
In 2006, Heinz College established a campus in Adelaide, South Australia with the intent of expanding its global footprint while offering its students the opportunity to gain an international perspective while they are in graduate school.
The MISM’s 21-month track continues to be a professionally focused program with the goal to provide its graduates with a competitive advantage leading to superior job placement in an increasingly competitive global job market. MISM 21-month track students will be able to enroll in more courses overall while gaining an international perspective as a full-time graduate student. In addition, students will be eligible to complete their required summer internship in Australia or in their home country. Students choosing to remain in Adelaide for their internship following their second semester can work with companies like Google, TELSTRA, Santos and many other prominent IT companies in Australia.
Students will also have access to both the Australian and American job markets upon graduation. According to a recent report called “IT Pay around the World Survey 2007 – Country Rankings” by Mercer, Australia was rated 2nd behind Hong Kong for the highest paying IT Managers.
