The stay-at-home mom getting back into the working world; the professional looking for a leg up over the competition; the small business owner hoping to revive his business after the recession: each found the boost they were looking for in the MSIM program.

A couple of weeks back, on my way to the office, I was delighted to hear an NPR news feature about how Phoenix is seeing tremendous growth in technology jobs.

Topping this month’s news is the U.S. News & World Report ranking that shows our online Master of Science in Information Management and Master of Science in Business Analytics No. 3 in the nation among specialized graduate business degrees.
