MSITM 4 + 1 Plan for MIS Undergrads - SBA Graduate & Executive Education

Program Overview Admissions Program Requirements Areas of Focus 4 + 1 Plan

Master of Science in Information Technology Management 4 + 1 Plan for MIS Undergraduates

The MSITM 4+1 Plan is a combined bachelor/master degree program that provides high-achieving students an opportunity to complete a bachelor's and master's degree in less time than would be required if the two degrees were done independently. It is designed for students who are high academic achievers and creates an integrated learning experience along several knowledge paths. The MSITM 4+1 Plan students will be able to earn their master's degree by completing 24 credits (8 courses instead of 10) beyond the undergraduate MIS major requirements.

Students accepted for the MSITM 4+1 Plan must have a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of 3.2, and a 500 on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). Students may apply to MSITM 4+1 Plan and be offered deferred admission to the graduate program at the end of the junior year and may begin enrollment in graduate courses during the first semester of the senior year. Students who apply must also have completed half of the departmental credits required for the MIS major.

Students offered deferred admission will remain classified as undergraduates until they have completed all undergraduate degree requirements. At that time, students who have maintained an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.2 and have earned a 3.0 or above GPA in each of the double-counted graduate courses (MIS 563 - Networks, and MIS 546 - Business Analysis and Modeling), will be reclassified as a graduate student through Graduate Study.
