Word From The Dean of the College of Business

“Our Master of Science in Information Technology Management program was developed for industry or business professionals seeking to advance their careers in IT management. As a STEM-designated degree, we equip students with the business acumen and IT skills needed to lead in both technology and business sectors. This transformational program prepares leaders to think strategically and optimize information technologies to achieve business goals and drive meaningful change.”

Dr. Rowlanda Cawthon

Dean, College of Business

Word From The Dean of the Creatio Center

“Let’s face it, careers in engineering and management require different skillsets and yet successful 'technology managers' must excel in both. In over-35 years of working in the technology industry, I’ve known many excellent engineers who were promoted into management with only mixed results and I’ve also known project, program and people managers who struggled to understand the work being done by the engineering team. At Northwest University, we designed the Master of Science in Technology Management to be a bridge connecting two disparate disciplines, helping engineers to build competence in business management and professional managers to gain a better understanding of technology.”

Craig Chapman

Dean, Creatio Center for Technology, Media, and Design
