Master of Science in Management Information Systems
The Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS) is a STEM program introducing students to a challenging field focused on integrating information technology and organizational processes to meet the needs of businesses and other enterprises. Our mission is to educate and prepare our students with both IT aptitude and business understanding that will qualify them for successful careers in the IT field.
Professionals who understand how to strategically and effectively use information systems in organizations are in high demand. Because our graduates make a significant contribution to the competitiveness and wellbeing of the organizations in which they work after graduation, they command very competitive salaries
In addition to the core Management Information Systems curriculum, the Department of Information Systems offers concentrations in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business and Data Analytics.
Each program comprises four core courses and six electives. Students can choose to take two of those electives for study abroad, an internship or a thesis paper.
The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) concentration focuses on how to integrate all the business processes of different departments and functions across a company onto a single management of information systems—designed to optimize processes, drive efficient decision making and optimize the financial benefit to the company.
Students in the Business and Data Analytics concentration learn the managerial, analytical, and technical skills needed to gather data, store, organize and analyze data—using programming tools and quantitative methods—then use the resulting information to improve business performance and gain a competitive advantage.
These MIS degree options are SAP University Alliances programs. At AUM, you’ll have access to the SAP Business Suite family of solutions, including SAP ERP. This comprehensive business software suite enables students to gain insight into how SAP and other enterprise solutions can empower a business to optimize key processes such as accounting and controlling, human capital management, materials management, and sales and distribution.
