The Program for IT Leaders
Northwestern University's MSIS program prepares graduates to advance their careers in IT management or to move into an IT career and progress to management level. Distinct from traditional computer science programs, MSIS puts emphasis on the development and management of software projects existing in the workplace. It is designed for professionals who seek a hands-on, laboratory-based experience that will broaden and deepen their knowledge of new and emerging IT. World-class instruction emphasizes the best practices in the field, along with evolving standards, which keep students abreast of trends in this rapidly changing field.

"The curriculum helped me understand what’s moving the industry. I liked that so many professors work in the field and bring real-world experience to their teaching. My classmates were great. We had a lot of commonality, but we also brought different backgrounds to our work. In my group, there was a journalist and a musician along with people already working in tech."
