MS in CIS Curriculum
and Courses
The MS in CIS program consists of four hours of foundation
courses (Phase I) and 12 three-hour courses in three
remaining phases. Phase II consists of five core courses
in fundamental information systems topics. Phase III
offers six advanced courses in pioneering areas of information
systems. Phase IV brings the program together with a
Capstone project utilizing skills gained throughout
