By Mimi Qurashi, Director of Graduate Admissions & Recruiting
The application for our M.S. in the Management of IT (MSMIT) program is officially open, and one of the most common questions we receive is “What’s the best way to get started?” My advice is simple: Start early, and connect with us.
Many successful applicants begin by reviewing the application requirements and creating a timeline for gathering materials such as transcripts, recommendations, and essays. Starting early gives you the opportunity to submit a thoughtful, polished application while reducing last-minute stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I apply?
The best time to apply is when your application reflects your strongest candidacy. We offer various application deadlines throughout the year to allow you the flexibility to submit your application when it works best for your timeline. However, submitting earlier can provide you more time to prepare for enrollment, scholarships, and next steps if admitted.
What makes an application stand out?
We look for candidates who clearly communicate their goals, professional experiences, and reasons for pursuing the degree. Strong applications help us understand both your accomplishments and your potential for future impact.
Can I speak with someone before applying?
Absolutely. We encourage prospective students to connect with the admissions team through a 1:1 consultation. Whether you have questions about program fit, application requirements, or career outcomes, we’re here to help.
