The power of computer technology is unparalleled. Also unparalleled is corporate demand for qualified, educated professionals who can successfully manage rapidly changing technologies. Companies are seeking employees with solid business skills and the ability to adapt quickly to change. The Master of Science in Computer Information Systems (MSCIS) prepares working professionals to succeed in information systems careers by providing exactly the skills that businesses demand from their managers: value and versatility.

The MSCIS program incorporates fundamental information systems principles, today’s applications and tomorrow’s leading-edge approaches. Because of the program’s unique combination of courses, MSCIS graduates will have both the technical background and the innovative know-how to solve problems, implement solutions, streamline processes and increase productivity.

The MSCIS curriculum was designed based on industry demand. It combines Computer Information Systems courses with classes in the management and the information systems concentrations of the Master of Business Administration program. Students are also able to select areas of study in Special Topics courses that meet their own interests. Graduates of the MSCIS program will have a thorough, far-reaching knowledge of Computer Information Systems principles.

MSCIS classes meet once a week for a period of 13 weeks and are designed on a trimester system, which allows students to complete their coursework at a faster pace than a traditional semester-based program.
