Program Format

Monthly in-person classes at our Northern Virginia campus provide a distraction-free environment for full engagement. These sessions include robust discussions, engaging presentations, and hands-on collaborative group projects and activities. You will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with members of your cohort and program faculty, strengthening the relationships that are so crucial to your UVA student experience.

Between sessions, you will collaborate through online platforms like Brightspace and Zoom. These live virtual class sessions are typically held mid-week, ensuring continuous engagement and learning.

M.S. in MIT classes are held at Valo Park in McLean, VA, minutes from the Capital Beltway and accessible from the Tysons Corner metro stop. Ample parking is available. The location centers the program in the Metro DC high-tech corridor, with access to key corporate, government, and nonprofit partners, as well as transportation links from hub cities throughout the East Coast. Full-time McIntire faculty and staff are accessible on-site during class days and available online or in Charlottesville during regular business hours.

As you develop your IT and management skills alongside a cohort of diverse and driven professionals, you’ll build meaningful relationships through collaborative, team-based coursework and built-in networking opportunities. The program’s class sizes are small enough that you’ll get to know everyone, while at the same time, you’ll gain access to a diverse network of contacts with an array of unique backgrounds and job functions. Together, you’ll broaden and deepen your knowledge through a transformational educational experience and, in turn, be able to reap the rewards of a robust industry network for years to come.
