HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM?
While you can finish your MSMIIT in less than two years, you are actually allowed six years to complete the program. Most graduate students will take approximately three years. We recommend that you think about the amount of time that you can devote to the program given professional, family and other time commitments. Plan to spend about 14 hours per week per course. It becomes a personal decision. You may want to start with one course and see how that fits with your schedule. Based on our experience we do not recommend taking more than two courses (six credits) per term at the graduate level.
