MS in Business Information Technology

Bridge the gap between business and IT to drive change.

Gain the sought-after skills to align business and IT units for organizational success. Choose from in-person and online options and customize your studies.

Both business and IT professionals understand that technological advancements can facilitate organizational growth. However, because the two units often work in silos, they rarely align — meaning IT advancements sometimes miss the mark on an organization’s needs and hinder success. In fact, according to recent studies, as many as 85 percent of all U.S. IT projects are considered failures. The STEM-designated Master of Science in Business Information Technology, offered jointly by Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business and College of Computing & Informatics (CCI), develops leaders who possess both the business acumen and technology skills needed to connect the divide between the two units and drive meaningful change.

Propelled by Drexel’s over 100-year history of industry-based education, the program incorporates experiential learning opportunities to expand students’ professional networks and build their foundational knowledge through real-world applications.
