MS in Business Computer Information Systems
Today’s competitive business environment requires technologies that provide the strategic edge to build market share and that enable business operations to run at maximum efficiency. The computer information systems majors provide the technical and managerial skills that support these goals. Two degree programs are offered: the Master of Science in business computer information systems and the Master of Business Administration in Computer Information.
The MS program is a concentration of 36 credits in major-related courses. It provides the concepts, strategies, and techniques necessary for this dynamic field. The program focuses on such technologies as database management systems and telecommunications and allows further study in areas of interest, such as information technology in the financial markets and e-business. The MS offers a more in-depth treatment of computer information systems, compared to the MBA. Also, the MS features an abbreviated business core curriculum of up to 17.5 credits (waivable in full or in part, for students with prior academic background).
