Boise State Begins Offering New MBA in Information Technology
Management
Boise State University will begin offering a new master’s of business
administration (MBA) in information technology management this fall. The
Idaho State Board of Education recently approved the new program.
The MBA will feature five courses specific to the management of IT in
operations, plus one elective to complement six core MBA courses.
The degree is designed to help graduates secure long-term futures in the IT
field, said Sharon Tabor, chair of the newly named Department of Information
Technology and Supply Chain Management in the College of Business and
Economics. Some potential students have been scared away from pursuing IT
careers because of off-shoring of jobs and dot-com failures, Tabor said.
However, with baby boomers retiring and the field widening, there is high
demand for IT professionals.
Formerly the Networking, Operations and Information Systems Department, the
department recently changed its name and altered course offerings to be
responsive to changing roles in today’s competitive economy.
Earlier this year the State Board of Education also approved two redesigned
undergraduate programs that will begin in the fall, information technology
management and supply chain management. For more information, call 426-1181
