The MSCIS program enables students to study computing and information technology on a flexible basis. The program combines the study of computer science methodologies - software processes, engineering, telecommunications, and multimedia technologies - with content delivery over data networks. It is ideal for those interested in learning the state of the art and state of the practice in the information technology field.
The program is distinct from traditional computer science programs because of its emphasis on the development and management of software projects within business organizations. Graduates of the MSCIS program typically find positions as quality assurance analysts, project managers, database administrators, software engineers, systems analysts, business analysts and application developers. They pursue their careers in a variety of organizations, including large and mid-size corporations, start-up companies, nonprofits and government agencies.
Along with a sound theoretical grounding in computer technology, the MSCIS program focuses on the applications and implementation of information technology. The teaching emphasizes best practices and the most current advances to keep students abreast of trends in this rapidly changing field. Additionally, MSCIS students may select an optional area of specialization to focus their academic and professional interests. Core and specialization courses emphasize modern distributed applications, their design and implementation, evaluation, underlying enabling technologies, theoretical models and the networks through which computer-based technologies travel.
