Today's competitive business environment requires technologies that provide companies with a strategic edge and enable businesses to run at maximum efficiency. The information systems majors provide students with the managerial and technological skills that support these goals. Two degree programs are offered: the Master of Science in information systems and the Master of Business Administration in information systems

The MS program is a concentration of 30 credits in major-related courses. It provides the concepts, strategies, and techniques necessary for this dynamic field. The program focuses on business areas driven by information technologies, including database management systems, e-business development, and analysis and design. The MS also provides study in other areas of interest, such as information technology in the financial markets and IT project management. The MS provides more in-depth treatment of information systems than the MBA. Also, the MS features an abbreviated business core curriculum of up to six credits (waivable in full or in part, for students with prior academic background).

 


Preliminary Courses    
(6 credits)

Students with appropriate background will be able to reduce the number of credits in preliminary requirements. English language courses offered by the Continuing and Professional Studies area are required for non-native English speakers; the courses may be waived based on a waiver exam.
