As a student in the Master of Science in Management Information Systems, or MS-MIS, you will learn to contribute to and, ultimately, lead information technology teams in designing and delivering software solutions that effectively address real-world business needs.
Virtually all software used today — the source of so much automation and disruptive innovation in our world — is created by human beings. Simply put, software cannot create new software.

A leading program regionally and natiowide, the MS-MIS addresses all these areas; it is this breadth that sets the MSMIS apart from the more narrowly and technologically-focused computer science degree.
