Program information

The combined Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Information Technology Security (MITS) program is a graduate professional program that prepares students to work in the high-demand field of IT security management. The courses within the MBA program enable the degree holder to provide organizations with a business management skill set that helps raise the competitiveness of the entity, leading not only to a comparative advantage but also higher-skilled and thus higher-income jobs within the province. The MITS courses prepare graduates to work in the high-demand IT security industry. The MBA-MITS combined program not only emphasizes excellence in graduate-level business and IT security knowledge but also soundness in the soft skills (i.e., interpersonal relations, team building and communication) and in business and IT ethics. The program adopts a project method that provides students with the experience to apply core course materials to a substantial project in the workplace during the latter part of the program.
