For the modern business enterprise, the ability to utilize information effectively is key to creating a competitive advantage. The most successful and sought-after leaders are those who understand how data can be used to drive profits, plans and projections.
With a focus on the critical intersection of information and business management, the Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS) program is designed for professionals who are interested in how information is applied to achieve bottom-line results.
Individuals with business, managerial and/or technical backgrounds will benefit from this program’s design which builds in a student-selected certificate as part of the degree. While students may choose any offered certificate, the Business Intelligence and Analytics certificate is a SAS© approved specialization and best compliments the MSMIS programs design. Students who complete this pathway will also earn a recognized badge credential from SAS© in Business Intelligence and Analytics.
If you are interested in advancing your career into enterprise-wide MIS leadership, consider this program as a springboard to your future.
MSMIS Program Notes:
1) It is strongly suggested that MMIS 501 and then MMIS 531 be the first two courses a student takes in their degree program. Many other classes build on this knowledge.
2) Students are encouraged to have a Windows-based PC or the ability to emulate a Windows-based PC. In the absence of such, open-source software may need to be downloaded to complete certain activities.
3) BUAN 505 will count for both the degree core and certificate for students who choose the Business Intelligence and Analytics certificate making the degree 30 credit hours.
