Tuition & Financial Support

As a University of Cincinnati Online student, you may be living halfway across the world or halfway across campus. No matter where you live, UC Online is here to help you obtain your degree.

Most of what is done to secure aid as an online student is the same as traditional students. Your aid eligibility is also very much the same. The one caveat is understanding part-time vs. full-time status because online students are often part-time. Part-time students should be aware of how grants can adjust based on enrollment and how taking annual loan amounts can more quickly get a student to their aggregate loan limit.

The Student Financial Aid Office is here to assist you in planning your academic career and using your available aid to meet your educational goals.

FAQs

Is an MS IT the same as a master’s in computer science?

Although both computer science and IT degrees involve working with computers and software, and require a strong understanding of technology and its applications, they differ in their approach. Computer science is more theoretical and focuses on abstract concepts, while IT is more hands-on and applied in nature. Both degrees can lead to lucrative careers in the tech industry.
Is getting an master’s in information technology worth it?

Earning a Master of Science in Information Technology can equip you with up-to-date and relevant technology skills and knowledge. Pursuing an MS in IT can be an excellent way to advance your career and increase your earning potential. If the degree aligns with your interests, background, and career goals, then investing time and money to earn it can be worthwhile. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer and information technology fields are expected to grow at a rate of 15% in the next ten years, and the median salary is $100,530, which is almost double the annual wages for all occupations.
What is the difference between an MS IT and a Master’s in Information Systems (IS) degree?

The Master of Science in Information Technology (MS IT) degree emphasizes the practical application of technology, while a Master’s in Information Systems (IS) Management focuses on the strategic use of information systems to support business objectives. Although both degrees cover similar topics, the MS IT degree has a stronger technical focus, while the IS degree has a stronger business focus.
