The Program


It is no surprise that the rapid advances in information technology are having a profound effect on businesses across the world. As a result, there is an increasing need for management to effectively and efficiently obtain and manage information as competition becomes more high tech, global, and intensive. In the words of the Director of the National Science Foundation, information technology is the fuel for the nation’s economic engine, generating one-third of the recent growth in the US economy.

The MSMIS program will provide students with advanced preparation to enter a professional career involving the use, definition, analysis, design, implementation, and operation of management information systems. While the program will provide students with the background to enter the information technology profession in a wide variety of positions and industries, the overall structure of the program is designed to provide students with the educational framework appropriate for careers leading to executive positions such as Chief Information Officer.
