Master of Information Technology & Management
Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements
Admission to the degree program is competitive and is based on a review of:
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 required to demonstrate proficiency in the undergraduate courses that are prerequisites for the graduate program. Proficiency may be demonstrated by taking and passing a written exam or taking and passing, with a grade of B or better, the prerequisite undergraduate courses at IIT.
Current prerequisites for the Master of Information Technology & Management include computer hardware and operating system literacy (ITM 301 or ITM 302 or equivalent coursework, certification or experience) and an ability to program at a basic level using a contemporary object-oriented programming language (ITM 311 or ITM 312 or equivalent coursework, certification or experience).
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 may be required to demonstrate proficiency in the use of a contemporary object-oriented programming language through completion of a programming proficiency examination. Students will be requested to complete a representative set of basic programming tasks and will have a choice of programming languages in which to complete the tasks; Visual Basic is not an acceptable language for this purpose. References may be consulted, but the test is timed so ability to code is necessary. Students who cannot satisfactorily complete the exam may be required to attend a refresher workshop or short course in their selected programming language, or may be required to complete an ITM programming course; the appropriate action will be based on their score on the exam.
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.
