The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program is a 36 semester-hour applied graduate program. Building upon a core of seven foundation courses and a capstone policy course, the MSIS program offers a wide variety of electives. Student may elect to create a specialty concentration from courses in e-Business Systems, Information Security Data Communications, and Systems Administration. Each of these concentrations prepares graduates for employment within niches of the IT profession experiencing critical shortages of employees.

Characteristics of successful MSIS students

The successful candidate for the MSIS program may be a practicing professional in the field of Information Systems or someone without a technical undergraduate degree who wants to use a state-of-the-art graduate degree as a means of leveraging a new career in IS. Applicants must be prepared to excel in a technical curriculum. The successful student will be interested in pursuing an advanced degree that reflects a strong technical emphasis and will require a program with flexible requirements, as well as flexible class scheduling.
