Master of Information Systems: Overview

Your MIS Degree

The Master of Information Systems (MIS) degree is a 30 credit-hour program designed to provide professionals in information technology, or those seeking a career in information technology, the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in today's highly competitive, constantly evolving world of business technology. 

The full-time MIS program can be completed in one year.  The part-time program, designed for working professionals, can be completed in less than two years.
