MS in Information Technology Management

[Merlin]

I am considering applying to WGU for the MS in Information Technology Management program once I graduate from UMPI next spring. I am earning my BLS with minors in Management Information Systems and Project Management. At this time, I am looking at going into project management. I don't have a ton of IT experience. Most of my experience is in building websites with shopping carts and academia. I plan on getting my CAPM and the PMP once I have the required project experience PMI requires. I was wondering if anyone has earned this degree and WGU and if they could give me any insight into it. I've read the course descriptions, but was hoping for more info. The courses, for the most part, have IT in their name, but don't seem like they're focused on any particular aspect of IT such as programming, databases, analytics, etc.

I did WGU's MBA in IT Management though I considered their MS ITM program. In fact I and went back and forth on which one I wanted to do for a while before settling on the MBA.

The MS ITM doesn't focus on any specific area of IT since it is a management degree that focuses on management as it applies to working in an IT field. Think of it as a cross between an IT generalist degree and a degree in management/leadership.

If you're looking for something that focuses more on a specific discipline of IT, then you should look at their specialized IT degrees. Currently, the only masters-level specialist degrees that WGU offers are in Cybersecurity and Data Analysis, but they are working on an MS in Computer Science that will probably open up sometime in 2021.
