The Ph.D. program in Information Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha offers a new and pioneering curriculum with multidisciplinary emphases in information technology. The program is motivated by the non-traditional model behind the formation of the new College of Information Science and Technology, which combines computer science with information systems. The program is among the first in a new generation of IT graduate programs in the country.

The Ph.D. in IT integrates the theory and practice of applied computing, information systems, Internet technologies, and the advances in telecommunications and management of information technology. The program responds to the urgent and growing need for a new kind of specialist who understands the unique intersection of these fields. The vision of the doctoral program in IT is to combine the disciplines of computer science, information systems, software engineering, and telecommunications to develop technology specialists who are uniquely positioned to advance research and practice in contemporary technologies.
