Advance your IT career with hands-on, project-based learning

The Illinois Tech Master of Information Technology (MIT) is designed for experienced IT professionals ready to advance into leadership roles. The program blends advanced management strategies with in-demand technical skills to prepare you to lead teams and drive innovation in a rapidly evolving industry.

Through a career-focused, project-based curriculum, you will gain hands-on experience solving real-world IT challenges. You will build skills in full-stack web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, and open-source frameworks, while working on applied projects in web applications, network configuration, virtualization, and cloud technologies. This hands-on experience culminates in a capstone project that integrates multiple technologies and prepares you to make an immediate impact in senior-level roles.

Instead of a traditional application, enrollment is granted if you hold a bachelor’s degree and successfully complete one of two pathways: Hardware and Operating Systems Foundation or the Google IT Support Professional Certificate. Upon full admission, the specialization certificate will count directly toward your Master of Information Technology degree.
