MSIS for Undergraduate IS Majors
The Master of Science in Information Systems gives undergraduate information systems majors the opportunity to further their IS knowledge and skills with only one additional year of school. With a hands-on focus and numerous career management resources, the MSIS program can open doors that an undergraduate degree alone cannot.
- BS/MS students are eligible to take graduate IS courses while completing their undergraduate requirements.
- The GMAT/GRE exam and letters of recommendation requirements are waived on the MSIS application.
- BS/MS students are eligible for a $4,400 scholarship upon matriculation to the MSIS program.
Academically high-achieving students have the option to bypass the admissions committee and receive an admission decision sooner. Qualified Fast Track applicants are no longer required to attain letters of recommendation.
To qualify for Fast Track, you must meet these requirements at the time of application.
- Must be a David Eccles School of Business Undergraduate in Information Systems Alum
- Minimum 3.2 IS GPA

If you qualify for Fast Track, simply mark “yes” to the Fast Track question in your application. Please note that the admissions coordinator will verify that you meet the Fast Track requirements. If you don’t qualify, you will be asked to provide two letters of recommendation and your application will be put through to a committee review.”

We place a strong focus on ensuring students continue to progress and increase their skills. As these courses are also required for the Eccles IS undergraduate degree, IS majors will not need to repeat them in the graduate program. All students are required to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours, so students who have any core courses waived can instead take additional electives to meet the credit hour requirement.
