The Master of Science in Management Information Systems will prepare you for careers in a wide range of business fields. The program is designed to provide the technical and managerial knowledge and skills required by MIS professionals. Graduates will be prepared to operate successfully in careers associated with planning, design, development and management of complex information systems. The program is designed for individuals whose job and family responsibilities require the flexibility to pursue the MSMIS on a part-time basis without interrupting their careers; and those who may have completed baccalaureate degrees within the last year or two, and who wish to continue their academic pursuits as full-time graduate students. Those with undergraduate degrees in a variety of areas are welcome to apply.
If you choose, you may opt to enroll in the MBA/MSMIS Dual Degree program to further your education in both graduate business studies and information systems.
