Master of Science in Information Systems

The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS), the Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS), and Masters in Manangement Information Systems are specialized master's degree programs usually offered in a university's College of Business and in integrated Information Science & Technology colleges in recent years. The MSIS degree is designed for those managing design and development information technology, especially the information systems development process. The MSIS degree is often thought to be functionally equivalent to a Master of Information Systems/Technology Management, however the two are distinguishable in that the later has much more equitable composition of information science/systems, and business/management. Nonetheless, for the purposes of this broad overview, MSIS is included with MSMIS and MMIS which are specialized master's degree programs recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

A joint committee of Association for Information Systems (AIS) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) members developed a model curriculum for the Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS). The most recent version of the MSIS Model Curriculum was published in 2006.

The course of study is concentrated around the Information Systems discipline. The core courses are (typically) Systems analysis, Systems design, Data Communications, Database design, and Project management.
