Information Systems, Master of Science

The goal of the Master of Science in Information Systems program is to provide students with the theoretical foundation of information systems. The program seeks to enable students to develop technical and management skills by participating in competency-based projects focused on the development, integration, deployment, and management of enterprise information systems within the modern business environment. The program uses sound practices, current and emerging tools and technologies, and effective teamwork approaches.

At the end of the program, students are able to:

  • Design computer-based systems, processes, components or programs to meet organizational needs.
  • Integrate professional, ethical, and legal standards to maintain secure information systems.
  • Evaluate information from various sources in order to solve real world IT situations.

This program typically takes 28 months to complete for part-time enrollment and 14 months to complete for students enrolled full-time.
