Today’s CIOs and other IT management leaders exist at a significant crossroads, responsible for more than just the overall technological direction of their organizations. Increasingly, many IT leaders are now essential members of executive teams, called upon to provide organizations with expert visions on guiding strategic direction, establishing competitive advantages, and driving business innovation.
With this increased focus on strategy, today’s IT professionals must strike a balance between core technical knowledge and big-picture thinking toward organizational objectives: They must be able to think about business and people power as much as technology power.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities in the IT industry are projected to increase by 16 percent from 2021 to 2031. Meanwhile, the median salary of computer and information systems managers is $159,010.
Testimonials from current students and alumni.
The program's courses are solidly rooted in state-of-the-art technical training. This is tempered with engagement with local companies. My students interact with local technology leaders on a one-to-one basis outside the classroom and with speakers inside the classroom; additionally, they participate in a podcast that has them ‘face off’ with local startups.”
