Master of Science in Computer Information Systems (Proposed)



CIS Courses – Graduate Level

MBA students majoring in Information Systems may now elect to take the same concentrations offered to our Master of Science students.  For further information, see the MS IS degree program.  The four CIS courses which make up a concentration for the MS program may also be used to provide the MBA student with the same concentration.  The difference between the two degrees is in the core offering...the MBA has a core of all business courses, where the MS degree has a core of all Information Systems courses.

Master of Science

Major in Computer Information Systems

There is a continuing shortage of specialists and managers with the combination of business and technology skills needed to bring about this reshaping of international industries. The CIS major in the Master of Science program provides an innovative new framework for developing graduates who are able to combine their general business knowledge with the latest information systems tools and techniques to enable organizations to compete strongly in the global marketplace. Graduates, through the use of specializations in their programs of study, will be prepared for careers in a variety of areas such as information systems management, consulting, project management, etc. The following concentrations comprise the Masters of Science degree:

Information Systems Management. This concentration is intended to prepare students for executive careers in management of information systems functions, or management of organizations that involve intensive use of information technology, or a career in consulting that builds on expertise in the information systems area.

Systems Development and Project Management. This concentration is intended to prepare students for leadership careers in the area of systems development, project management, quality assurance and systems integration.

Business Process Innovation (potentially available from Spring 2009). This concentration is intended to prepare students for careers as experts in the design or redesign of organizations and organizational activities that lead to the most effective and rewarding successes in widely varying organizational missions.

The Wireless Organization (available with sufficient demand). This concentration is intended to prepare students for careers as experts in the design or redesign of information systems or the encompassing organizations in order to lead these organizations to advantages derived from mobile information devices, wireless information systems, location-aware computing and ubiquitous computing strategies.

Health Informatics. This concentration is intended to prepare students for executive careers in the management of information resources for health administration and operations in health-related organizations.
