PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The Master of Science in Information Techonolgy
(MSIT) is a graduate master degree designed specifically
for managers in organizations that rely on IT .
Advances in information technology have brought fundamental
changes to business worldwide. Technology is no longer
the exclusive realm of specialists. Managers in organizations
that rely on IT must develop knowledge, skills, and
abilities in the core areas of IT as well as complementary
management knowledge, skills, and abilities. The Master
of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program
is an interdisciplinary degree that achieves these
dual educational goals. Students entering the program
are expected to be familiar with at least one programming
language and to have completed at least one semester
of statistics. Here is MSIT: Course

The Master of Science in Criminal Justice
(MSCJ) is designed to provide students with
advanced knowledge and skills to enable them to succeed
in the field of Criminal Justice. The program emphasizes
both the theoretical and applied aspects of Criminal
Justice.
Upon successful completion of the master’s degree
in criminal justice, students will be able to:
* Evaluate fundamental concepts, roles and functions
of criminal justice and the criminal justice system.
* Argue the merits of applying general management theories and practices
to criminal justice administration.
* Synthesize new knowledge as a result of independent research using
up-to-date information technology and evaluate findings with respect
to their merit, worthiness, or importance.
* Design research studies and define appropriate statistical methods
to be used, to address current problems in criminal justice.
The MSCJ program is designed to meet the needs of
students seeking a master's degree as a prerequisite
for entry to the field, as well as the needs of students
who are currently employed in the field and want to
broaden their knowledge, skills, and abilities. This
is accomplished by offering sufficient foundation courses
for a student who did not major in criminal justice
at the undergraduate level, as well as sufficient electives
to accommodate students who did. Here

It takes a minimum of 33 credit hours to complete
