Design a master's degree in information technology that meets your professional interests and provides the business knowledge and IT skills needed to make significant, far-reaching contributions to your organization. Choose a broad range of IT electives or focus your study in such areas as information security, networking, project management, health informatics, or enterprise architecture. You will have access to Capella's Virtual Lab Environment, which allows you to develop and test technology projects in an environment that closely mirrors real-life settings. People who choose this specialization are often working IT professionals who want to advance to supervisory or management positions or people with bachelor's degrees in related fields interested in pursuing senior-level or management careers in information technology.
