Credit Requirement: 30 Credit Hours

Full-Time and Part-Time Formats: Students can pursue the MSIS program in either a full-time or part-time format. Full-time students complete the program in three semesters (12 months), and part-time students complete the program in four or more semesters (15+ months). Both formats are designed to meet the needs of working students; all required courses are offered in the evening, and most are also offered online.

Master of Science Requirement: MSIS students complete a capstone to satisfy the Master of Science degree requirement. A master’s thesis is not required.
Enrollment Options: Students can enroll in either fall or spring semester.

Concurrent Degrees: The MSIS program can be completed concurrently with an MBA, MS Business Analytics, or MS Finance.
