THE EVENING MSIM DEGREE

The Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM) is an evening degree program that teaches business people to manage in an IT environment.  It is designed for working professionals in the IT field who recognize the importance of information technology in the competitive global economy.  This one-year program includes an intensive, lock-step curriculum that focuses on managing IT relationships in the context of business processes.  The MSIM program, which begins in the summer and runs through May, consists of 10 courses, taught two evenings a week, for a total of 30 credit hours.  Courses are offered through the department of information systems in the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.

BENEFITS OF THE MSIM DEGREE

Employers seek managers who possess strong business and technological skills.  To be a successful manager in the IT field, you must be able to interact with other employees within your organization, as well as external clients who do not have a comparable technological background.  The MSIM degree will help prepare you to link your IT experience with the business skills necessary to manage a group of IT professionals.  Students learn how to streamline processes, cut costs and manage new forms of IT outsourcing arrangements.  Opportunities for obtaining a management position in this field are greatest for employees who possess a master's degree in information management.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, median annual earnings for managers in the IT field are $92,570.
