The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program is a 36 semester-hour applied graduate program. The program builds upon a core of seven foundation courses and two capstone courses.
The MSIS program offers students the unique flexibility to design their own areas of interest by taking a variety of elective courses, such as Business, Statistics, Leadership, Accounting, Professional Writing, Governance, and Information Systems. Students may decide to design custom concentrations in one of the following:
- Information Security
- Data Mining/Business Intelligence
- Accounting/IT Auditing
- Business/Global IT Management
- Advanced IT Project Management
- Leadership
- Statistics/SAS
The average full time student taking 4 classes can successfully complete the program in 3 semesters. The average part time student taking 2 to 3 classes can complete the program in 4-6 semesters. Most of the core courses are offered every semester, with IS electives along with a host of interesting electives.
Who should apply?
Students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply to the MSIS program. If you already have IT work experience, you will be able to make a seamless transition to the classroom. If not, the MSIS Director will work with you to develop a remediation plan. We admit students with undergraduate degrees in diverse disciplines, ranging from English to Biology to Engineering, to Management and Computer Information Systems. We also admit international students with various backgrounds. We believe that a diverse classroom environment stimulates active learning and helps students to further develop their abilities to succeed in the global economy.
