Program Information

The Department of Information Systems & Operations Management offers graduate courses leading to the Master of Science in Information Systems and Operations Management (M.S.ISOM); the Ph.D. degree in Business Administration; and a concentration in the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program. Minimum requirements for these degrees are available in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.

Master of Science: The M.S.ISOM program provides computing, analytical, and application skills to be used in a business setting. The primary areas of emphasis in the M.S.ISOM program are business intelligence and analytics, information systems/information technology, and supply chain management. Requirements span traditional academic disciplines to produce a multiple-discipline focus. Typical positions for graduates include decision support specialist, information systems specialist, systems analyst, and logistic support specialist.

For a student with a bachelor’s degree in business, the M.S.ISOM non-thesis on-campus program consists of a minimum of 36 credit hours, normally requiring a minimum of three semesters of study, not including summer. For students without a bachelor’s degree in business, the M.S.ISOM non-thesis on-campus program consists of a minimum of 40 credit hours, normally requiring a minimum of four semesters of study, not including summer.

All M.S.ISOM candidates must complete 26 credits of core coursework:
