To be eligible for the University of Cincinnati’s MS in Information Technology (MSIT), applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. While a background in computing or IT is preferred, candidates from other disciplines can qualify by completing 12 credit hours of bridge courses. Proficiency in four key areas—programming, information security, system administration, and database management—is essential; lacking proficiency may necessitate additional coursework.
