I define the MISST program as a combination of a business degree and a technology degree. Using individual and group/team dynamics, the program mirrors real-life work situations to better prepare and hone our skills for future growth and development. A majority of the coursework thus far has been very applicable to my current job and I have been able to transition my learning into my work setting very easily.
I believe the MISST concept of developing a “hybrid” employee – one who understands and is fluent in both business and technology domains – is accurate. The coursework mimics real world scenarios and problems, and allows students to assume roles within coursework that they might not otherwise experience on a daily basis.
When someone asks me “What’s MISST?” I respond “It’s learning the business side of technology through individual and team projects based on real world problems.’
If our professor, Doyt, were to ask, I’d say “It’s learning to apply little ‘t’ in the context of big “T” technology”
