| Description |
: The Master of Science in Information Architecture program is targeted at the technical working professional market. The most highly valued competencies among working professionals in this market lie in Internet application design, integration, and deployment. The MSIA fills a market niche that, in terms of technological sophistication, lies above technology management programs and below engineering and computer science programs. Prospective students will seek business-oriented Internet technical competencies as opposed to the programming competencies offered in highly technical degree programs or the systems level abstractions offered in technology management programs. A person who graduates from The Master of Science in Information Architecture degree program is prepared to respond to career opportunities at the level of Chief Technical Officer or Chief Information Officer in a corporation.
The MSIA is a thirty credit hour degree program that consists of ten graduate courses designed to appeal to the target market by requiring a minimum number of credit hours for a graduate degree. This design translates to shorter total time to degree and lower total tuition cost for students to increase their Internet knowledge and attain their educational goal. The subject matter covers the range of issues and component technologies that surround the analysis, design, and deployment of Internet-based applications. The MSIA degree program will be fully offered at all of our campuses and online using Capitol's unique asynchronous and live classrooms. |
