Some new technological wonder seems to surfaces daily in our interconnected, computerized world. It’s more apparent than ever that we live in a tech-driven world.

It’s a world that requires visionary leaders with the right combination of IT, people and professional skills to step into C-level positions and integrate those new wonders while ensuring everything else continues to run smoothly. And those are the kind of skills you can learn and refine with an Executive Doctorate of Philosophy in Information Technology from University of the Cumberlands.

In addition to bolstering your leadership credentials, this program is designed to give you the tools you need to take a 50,000-foot strategic view of your organization’s tech issues without sacrificing your in-depth tactical understanding at the nuts-and-bolts level. From identifying cyber threats to making data-driven policy decisions, you’ll gain the tools you need to lead data science and information technology initiatives, departments and even companies.
