Florida State University’s School of Information now offers a combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Information Technology, which will allow motivated and academically talented undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue both degrees in a shorter time span.

Students accepted to this combined program may count up to 12 units of graduate coursework toward both the BSIT and the MSIT degrees.

The combined BSIT/MSIT program allows eligible students to:
