Polytechnic University of the Philippines

Master in Information Technology

General Provisions
If the student has not taken undergraduate courses in a field of specialization, he is required to take eighteen (18) units of qualifying courses to be determined by the Academic Program Chairperson unless otherwise specified in the curriculum;

The student may take more than the prescribed units in any distribution in the curriculum to meet his career objective and professional needs;

Free electives may be chosen from among the courses offered which are outside the required subjects in the student’s curriculum;

If the student has completed courses substantially equivalent to the required courses, he may waive the latter by application to the Dean.

Program Description
The Master in Information Technology (MIT) is a non-thesis master degree program that uses an approach that integrates key ideas from information technology, systems management, and decision science. Through this integrated approach, students gain a firm understanding of and appreciation for the power of information and the systems created to supply and manage that information. Advanced problem-solving skills (e.g., business analysis, process engineering, systems correctness and performance) are emphasized throughout the program that includes object-oriented analysis, comparative methods in software engineering, telecommunications, project management, client-server architectures, strategic planning, and database theories.

Vision
The MIT program is envisioned to be the university’s response to the heightened need of information where technical depth and professional expertise in creating information systems is developed.

Mission
Using modern technologies, the MIT program aims to create a generation of problem solvers and decision makers who are experts in the areas of information technology, systems design, and problem solving with automated resources.
