Information Systems Management Degree
Curriculum
The newly-redesigned Master of Science in Information Systems Management (MS-ISM) program prepares students for IS management and analytical positions involving the strategic role of information technology in modern business. Students graduating with an MS-ISM degree pursue careers as business/systems analysts, information systems managers, and IT auditors, among many others.
While some prior experience with computers is helpful, the program is designed for students coming from non-technical as well as technical backgrounds. Any student with a bachelor's degree is welcomed to apply. An MS-ISM degree also is an excellent complement to an undergraduate Accounting degree, including students who are planning to obtain CPA certification requiring 150 credit hours of undergraduate and/or graduate study.
MS-ISM Degree CurriculumThe MS-ISM program is a 30-credit, 'lock-step' program that can be completed full-time in one year, or part-time in 2 years. Students will take courses in a broad range of topics covering the technical, analytical and managerial aspects of information systems management.
