Management Information Systems, MS

Vision Statement

The Master of Science in management information systems (MIS) degree is designed to give students the skills and background needed to develop and manage an organization's information resources, technology, and infrastructure. It will serve as a source of added knowledge and experience for MIS graduates and practitioners interested in obtaining an advanced degree. It will also provide career growth opportunities for the non-MIS and non-business degree holders who find that their careers demand graduate level MIS education. The MS in MIS prepares students for a variety of positions, including applications and web-site developer, computer network manager, business system analyst/manager, consultant, and technology manager. The MS in MIS also prepares students for admission to doctoral programs in information systems. A community advisory committee helps keep the program current with the needs of the business community. The MS in MIS program is a STEM designated program (CP code: 11.0401)

Fast Track

The Department of Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis has developed a Fast Track program for highly qualified and motivated students providing the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in an accelerated time frame. With Fast Track, students may count up to nine (9) graduate hours toward the completion of their undergraduate program as well as the graduate degree program. Students will work with both undergraduate and graduate advisors to ensure graduate classes selected will count toward both programs, should a student wish to earn a graduate degree in a separate College of Information Science & Technology (CIST) area than their undergraduate degree.

Program Specifics:

  • This program is available for undergraduate students pursuing any of the following:
    • Students pursuing a CIST undergraduate degree desiring to pursue an MS in either the same or a related CIST field
    • Students pursuing a Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies who wish to pursue the MS in MIS.
  • Students must have completed no less than 60 undergraduate hours and within at least 24 undergraduate credits yet to complete.
  • Students must have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0.
  • Students must complete the Fast Track Approval form, obtain all signatures and submit it to the Office of Graduate Studies prior to first enrollment in a graduate course.
  • Students will work with their undergraduate advisor to register for the graduate courses.
  • A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required to remain in good standing.
  • Students remain undergraduates until they meet all the requirements for the undergraduate degree and are eligible for all rights and privileges granted undergraduate status including financial aid.
  • Near the end of the undergraduate program, formal application to the graduate program is required. All applicants will need to meet any other admission requirements established for the MS in selected CIST program. The application fee will be waived if the applicant contacts the Office of Graduate Studies for a fee waiver code prior to submitting the MS application.
    • Admission to Fast Track does NOT guarantee admission to the graduate program. 
    • The admit term must be after the completion term of the undergraduate degree.

International Dual Degree

The College of IS&T, in conjunction with the Management Center Innsbruck (Austria) (MCI) and the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany) (TUB), offers a small number of interested students the opportunity to receive both the MS in MIS (UNO) degree and the MA in Management, Communications and Information Technology (MCiT) (MCI) or the Masters in MIS (TUB) degree in a two-year, full-time equivalent period. This is implemented as an international dual degree track within the MS in MIS degree with courses that transfer in both directions. The international dual degree track, like the traditional MS in MIS program, requires the equivalent of 36 U.S. credit hours of course work beyond any foundation requirements. Students who wish to pursue this option will work closely with an advisor to develop a detailed plan of study.

Requirements

Foundation Courses

Foundation courses ensure that all students in the MS Management Information Systems (MIS) program have a strong foundation on which to build the rest of the program. These courses not only provide essential prerequisite knowledge and skills for other courses in the program, but they also contain a distinct body of knowledge that is an important part of the MIS professional’s education. All foundation courses are required for all students. Students who have obtained an undergraduate MIS degree will typically have this foundation. Other students, including computer science or engineering majors, will usually have to take one or more foundation courses. Occasionally, a student’s work experience may be sufficient to waive one or more foundation courses.

Waivers for foundation courses are granted by the chair of the graduate program committee upon the recommendation of the faculty member who is responsible for an individual foundation course. Students requesting a waiver for a particular course should be prepared to meet with a faculty member and answer questions in the area of the course. They should bring to the meeting any relevant transcripts, course syllabi, course material, or evidence of practical experience. Some foundation courses may have an option for testing out. Results of a test out are not appealable or repeatable.

Foundation courses cannot be used to satisfy the 36 semester hours required for the MS in MIS degree. Students who have not completed all the foundation course requirements may be admitted on provisional status until those requirements have satisfactorily been completed. All must be completed prior to or concurrent with the first six hours of MS in MIS graduate course work.

Concentrations

The ISQA faculty has developed a set of concentrations to assist students as they work to complete the MS in MIS program. Concentrations consist of a set of elective courses that are related to a particular subject area. Students may choose to take courses that make up a concentration, or not, as they see fit. Concentrations are not minors in the traditional sense, but rather reflect areas in demand in the community. If you have any questions regarding these concentrations, please contact the MS in MIS graduate advisor.

Analytics Concentration

Data analytics uses a variety of techniques to examine large amounts of data to discover patterns that can lead to business insights. Data analytics has broad applicability in customer behavior analysis, fraud detection, scientific inquiry, process improvement, financial analysis, trend analysis, forecasting, and decision-making. Techniques may include statistical methods, data mining, modeling and simulation, and data visualization. The analytics concentration prepares students for work in the area of analytics, and also offers the necessary methodological foundation for thesis work in a master’s or PhD program.
