Master of Science in
Information Systems & eCommerce (MSISeC)
The MSISeC is designed to prepare students
either for advanced positions in the information
technology field or as preparation for entrance
into a doctoral program in Information Systems.
The 36 credit-hour program of study includes a
24 hour core that provides the student with
in-depth coverage of the core components of
today's IT field and incorporates a graduate
statistics course. These components include
Database, Data Warehousing, Enterprise Systems,
Networking, and Systems Analysis. In addition,
the student will take 6 hours of directed
electives and will then elect either to complete
a thesis or 6 additional hours of coursework.
- Admission Requirements
All general admission requirements of the
Graduate School are applicable to the
program, as are all admission requirements
of the Master of Business Administration.
These include the requirements for
conditional and unconditional admission. In
general, the minimum requirements consist of
the following
- Overall undergraduate GPA of
2.75
- GMAT score of 400
- Formula score of 950 points,
where the score is calculated as
GMAT plus 200 time GPA
In addition, the applicant must have
completed the MBA foundation courses either
at the graduate or undergraduate level.
Finally, the applicant must have completed
an undergraduate database course and an
undergraduate programming course or must
demonstrate proficiency in these areas. Also
recommended is an undergraduate course in
either website development or electronic
commerce. (Most students with undergraduate
business degrees have met the business
foundation requirements, and likely all
students with MIS or related degrees have
met all the preparation requirements.)
- Program of Study
Built upon a preparatory foundation of
six business courses and three technical
courses, the MSISeC core consists of 24
required credit-hours. The core is aimed at
developing competency in the several
fundamental areas of Information Technology.
Beyond the core is a 12 credit-hour elective
block which may, at the student's option
include a 6 hour thesis. Other electives
consist of approved graduate coursework from
the MSISeC, MBA, or CS programs. Only three
hours of internship or independent study may
count toward the degree.
