Management Information Systems

The MS-MIS program is equally beneficial for students with information systems backgrounds, and an ideal complement for any undergraduate student with a degree in business, engineering, science, math or other analytically-oriented majors. The MS-MIS degree can jump start your career and provide fast-track opportunities not available to those with only an undergraduate degree.

We utilize a holistic approach in evaluating applicant credentials. While we require applicants to take either the GRE or GMAT, we do not have minimum admissions standards for these tests or for student GPAs. Instead, we consider an applicant’s entire application package (i.e. previous degree(s) and GPA(s), GRE or GMAT scores, prior work experience, letters of recommendation, and essay responses) when evaluating credentials.
