The effective management of information technology is now a mission-critical component of virtually every enterprise. This plan is designed to equip graduates with the skills necessary to apply modern technology solutions to business processes.
Combining technical courses in computer science, business statistics, optimization and finance with business courses in marketing, project management, electronic business and strategic management of technology, students will be well prepared for exciting careers in business.
Information Technology Management is a restricted-enrolment plan. Students are normally admitted at the Year One level into the Mathematics/Business Administration admission category. In Year Two, provided they remain eligible for an honours program, such students may select the Information Technology Management plan.
Students admitted to the Faculty in other admission categories may subsequently apply for transfer into Information Technology Management at a later date. However, to be admitted, such applicants will normally be required to have a “Good” or “Excellent” academic standing with a minimum 70.0 cumulative overall average (CAV) based on at least 5.0 units of non-excluded courses.
In conjunction with the common degree requirements in Table I in “Degree Requirements,” this plan requires 20 math courses. These overall requirements must include the Faculty core courses outlined in Table II in “Degree Requirements” and the following courses:
