Master of Science in Information Systems (M.S.I.S.)

Dr. Nancy Bonner, Program Director

Purpose of the Program

The Master of Science in Information Systems (M.S.I.S.) degree is designed to provide a specialized graduate education for information systems professionals. The M.S. in Information Systems will provide knowledge to succeed in understanding, developing, implementing, and managing information systems in all types of industries and organizations.

Length of Program

The program consists of 36 graduate semester hours. Classes are offered in the afternoon and evening in two 8-week sessions each semester. Most students complete their M.S.I.S. in 2 years by taking classes on a part-time basis, allowing students to attend school while continuing their full-time employment; however, it is possible to complete the program in less than 2 years if a student chooses to take more than 4 classes per semester.

Prerequisites

Individual graduate course descriptions specify any prerequisite undergraduate and/or graduate course(s) that must be completed before that specific graduate course can be taken.

Graduation Requirements

  • A G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher for all M.S.I.S. courses must be earned.
  • An information systems practicum (BCIS 6188 and BCIS 6189) must be satisfactorily completed, generally during the student’s final two semesters.
  • All M.S.I.S. courses and the information systems practicum must be successfully completed within 5 years of starting the M.S.I.S. program.
