The Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MS-MIS) program focuses on cultivating students' leadership capabilities in information technology. Those enrolled in the MS-MIS leverage their undergraduate background in Management Information Systems, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or similar disciplines to concentrate on advanced coursework in solution implementation, cybersecurity, and IT strategy. Additionally, participants enhance their problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills through hands-on projects and a research thesis addressing current industry challenges.
This 30-credit on-campus program is available in both standard and accelerated formats through the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP).
Note that the MS-MIS does not hold STEM designation for Optional Practical Training (OPT) eligibility. Consequently, graduates are limited to a 12-month OPT period under F-1 visa regulations.

Qualification Requirements
Students accepted into the program will have graduated with a baccalaureate degree in information systems, computer science, business analytics, or engineering from a regionally accredited college or university or from a recognized university abroad. If the degree is from a non IT-related field, admission is dependent upon the successful completion of two bridge courses that provide requisite knowledge needed for the Management Information Systems (M.S.) program in the areas of programming and systems analysis and design. Those two courses would be offered in the summer term prior to a fall semester program start.
Students accepted into the program will have achieved a minimum overall undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and will have earned a combined score of 580 or higher on the verbal and quantitative sections of the GMAT, or equivalent on the GRE.
