LTU Online Master’s Degree in Information Technology Ranks High in 2 National Surveys southfieldcc_3ik8d2

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – The online master’s degree program in information technology (MSIT) at Lawrence Technological University has been ranked 23rd in the country by U.S News & World Report and 33rd by the website, topmanagementdegrees.com. Both rankings are the best in Michigan.

The MSIT program, which is offered through LTU’s College of Management, gives students the choice of a concentration in business analytics, information assurance, or project management.

The U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on faculty credentials and training, student engagement, student services and technology, peer reputation, and admissions selectivity.

The topmanagementdegrees.com rankings are based on the most recent data from The Princeton Review, U.S. News & World Report, Businessweek’s Complete 2014 Business School Ranking, The National Center for Education and Statistics, and PayScale’s Graduate School Salary Report. This ranking combines the results of two of the most influential higher education rankings, each university’s average graduate school tuition, and average early career salaries of graduates.

The MSIT program at Lawrence Tech is designed to provide business professionals with an enhanced understanding of advanced information technology concepts and systems. The curriculum covers object-oriented systems analysis and design, database modeling and administration, enterprise systems security, technical infrastructure, project management, emerging technologies, and an IT integration capstone class. Students learn how to test innovative ideas using hands-on lab exercises to learn how to immediately apply what has been learned in the classroom.

Lawrence Technological University, www.ltu.edu, is a private university founded in 1932 that offers more than 100 programs through the doctoral level in its Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. PayScale lists Lawrence Tech among the nation’s top 100 universities for the salaries of its graduates, and U.S. News and World Report lists it in the top tier of best Midwestern universities. Students benefit from small class sizes and a real-world, hands-on, “theory and practice” education with an emphasis on leadership. Activities on Lawrence Tech’s 102-acre campus include over 60 student organizations and NAIA varsity sports.

Personal, Trachette JacksonSOUTHFIELD, Mich. – “Mathematical Biology and the Revolution of 21st Century Science” is the topic of the 2015 Walker L. Cisler Lecture, which will be delivered by Professor Trachette Jackson of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor on Wednesday, April 1, at 7 p.m. at Lawrence Technological University.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Mary E. Marburger Science and Engineering Auditorium in LTU’s Science Building. For more information, call (248) 204-3500.

Mathematical biology, the mathematical modeling of phenomena in the biomedical sciences, is one of the fastest growing areas in applied mathematics. In this introduction to the field, Jackson will highlight its historical successes and showcase ways in which mathematics and high-powered computing are used to tackle some of the biggest biological challenges.

Jackson is an award-winning teacher and scholar whose research in mathematical oncology has received international attention. In 2003, she became the second African American woman to receive the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Research Award in Mathematics.

The main focus of her research is combining mathematical modeling and in vivo tumor vascularization to gain a deeper understanding of tumor growth and vascular structure at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels.

LTU’s annual Walker L. Cisler Lecture is dedicated to the improvement of science education and is generously supported by the Holley Foundation. It honors Cisler for his leadership at Detroit Edison from 1954 to 1971 and his dedication to improving the quality of life for people around the world.
