The Master of Science in Computer Information Systems (MSCIS) program focuses on theoretical framework, practical applications, and research in the field of computer information systems. Students will be required to undergo internship to complement their classroom learning experience. The program entails completion of a thesis for each graduating candidate to be conferred the master’s degree in computer information systems.
The MSCIS program prepares students for executive careers in information technology of medium to large-scale enterprises; or pursue a related doctoral degree, at their discretion.

Program Prerequisite Courses
Students who completed their bachelor’s degree in a non-information field or students with an insufficient background in computer information systems are required to complete up to four (4) prerequisite courses. Some prerequisite courses may be waived or taken in combination with another course with the Academic Dean’s approval.
