The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) is a professional degree program that stresses the technical, managerial, and policy issues associated with building computer based systems that support modern organizations. The MSIS program addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of specifying, designing, implementing, and managing systems that possess qualities such as portability, scalability, and interoperability (open systems).

The MSIS program treats information as an organizational resource that is subject to managerial planning and control. It focuses on integration of data and distribution of information in helping organizations to be more competitive. In addition, the MSIS program offers graduates most of the academic background necessary to pursue certification as a Certified Computer Professional (CCP).

Undergraduate prerequisites may be required for entry into the graduate program; students who have not earned degrees from appropriate fields of study may be required to take additional coursework as a prerequisite for completing the program.

Within this curriculum, students have the option of choosing a concentration in:

  • Computer Security Management
  • Decision Support System Management
  • Enterprise Resource Management
  • Network Management
  • Software Engineering Management
  • Systems Development Management
