Admission Requirements

Admission to the degree program is competitive and is based on a review of:

• College transcripts
• Personal Statement
• Letters of Recommendation
• Documentation of work experience
• IT certifications

Applicants for admission must have earned a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0/4.0. For prospective students who do not meet this admission requirement, it may be possible to be admitted as a non-degree student and then make application for admission based on the results of study as a non-degree student. Admission as a non-degree student follows the university policy set forth in the Graduate Bulletin.

International applicants are required to submit a GRE score with a minimum score of 1200 (combined score for tests taken prior to Oct. 1, 2002); or 900 (quantitative + verbal) and 2.5 (analytical writing), (for tests taken on or after Oct. 1, 2002) and may be required to submit a TOEFL score.

Prerequisites
Students whose undergraduate degree is not in a computer-related area or who do not have significant experience or certifications in the information technology field will be assessed for prerequisite requirements and given advisement on prerequisite coursework.

Placement Examinations
Students entering the Master of Information Technology and Management degree program may be required to take placement examinations based on an evaluation of their background and their undergraduate degree program.

Students who are not required to complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) but have very low scores on the GRE Verbal (generally 10th percentile or lower) may be required to complete the IIT English Proficiency Review (EPR) Essay Examination. If students cannot pass this examination they will be required to enroll in ENG 053 and retake the EPR Essay Exam at course completion.
