Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) — Online Programs

Technology is speeding ahead, and your organization—not to mention your résumé—needs to keep pace. Now, from virtually anywhere in the world, you can upgrade your data analytics, cybersecurity, IT, and management skills with a Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) from Heinz College.msit-commencement.jpeg

That means you don’t need to be in Pittsburgh to learn from the best at Carnegie Mellon University. You don’t need to leave your job, or even your home. Our part-time delivery model pairs the flexibility of distance learning with the same access to world-class faculty enjoyed by our on-campus students. Teaching data-driven management strategies, technological expertise, and an interdisciplinary curriculum featuring three high-demand focus areas, we prepare you to lead digital transformation in your organization.

The student mix in MSIT is a combination of high-performing, early career professionals and seasoned executives. It is typical, for example, for a software engineer and a pharmaceutical executive to work together, leading to career acceleration for both. If you are looking for a career boost with the latest skills, the brightest ideas, and the strongest networks available in an online program, then the Heinz College MSIT program is for you.
