In 2018, the Department of Information Science has embarked on introducing a graduate program that leads to a Master of Science in Computing Information Systems (MSCIS) degree. Full-time and part-time students will be admitted to this program. The MSCIS program features a thesis and non-thesis options. The program allows students to select a group of courses that constitute a career-track.
The program offers four career tracks:
Information Systems Security,
Information Systems Development,
Data and knowledge Management,
Health Informatics.
Each career track includes a core course and a set of track elective courses. The program is designed to allow its candidates acquire the knowledge, advanced skills, systems development methodologies, and technologies needed to design, manage, evaluate and implement Information Systems (ISs), applications and services within enterprises and organizations. Subjects are introduced with a balanced multidisciplinary approach and cover advanced IS theory, practices, and management. A strong emphasis of the program is on graduating MS holders equipped with the advanced knowledge and skills needed for their enterprise/organizations to complete strongly in the global marketplace.
Embark on a journey through the digital landscape with our program, where you’ll merge technology and strategy to master the design and implementation of advanced information systems.
Master of Science in Computing Information Systems
Program Mission
The mission of the Master of Science in Computing Information Systems (MSCIS) is to offer high-quality and career-oriented graduate education in order to bridge the gap between information systems and industries by keeping pace with rapidly growing knowledge and changing technologies. The program provides inter-disciplinary approach for preparing graduates with expertise in information systems. The program structure allows students to build career elective choices based on their individual career goals.
