The Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MS-MIS) program emphasizes the development of students' information technology (IT) leadership skills. Students admitted to the MS-MIS build on the foundation of a four-year undergraduate major in Management Information Systems (MIS), Computer Information Systems (CIS), Computer Science (CS), or a closely related field, enabling MS-MIS students to focus on advanced courses in solutions delivery, cyber security, and IT strategy. Further, students develop their problem identification, critical solution creation, and communications abilities via the execution of experiential projects and a research paper focused on practical, relevant industry topics.The MS-MIS is an on-campus program requiring 30 hours of coursework. It is offered in both traditional and Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) versions.The MS-MIS is not a STEM-designated program for purposes of Optional Practical Training (OPT). Therefore, students completing this degree qualify for a maximum 12-month Optional Practical Training (OPT) F-1 visa.
