This program is intended for students with either undergraduate degrees in
computer science or management information systems. On completion of this
curriculum, a student will have an in-depth background in both the development
of large software systems, management and administration of such systems, and
specialized knowledge in such areas as software project management and
effective use of computers to increase productivity in business and industry.
Admission Requirements:
Students
entering the program should have a demonstrated background in Pascal, software
engineering, data structures, discrete mathematics, computer architecture,
microeconomics, management, accounting, quantitative methods, and finance. The
aptitude test of the GRE or GMAT is also required.
An undergraduate degree in computer science program or a
minor in management information systems is an ideal preparation for the
program. A management information systems undergraduate
degree with a minor in computer science is equally as good. Students with
degrees in either computer science or management information systems should be
able to enter the program with few deficits.
Degree Requirements:
A minimum of thirty-one credit hours is required
including thirty hours of approved course work
(at least five courses in each of the CS and MIS departments)
and one hour of colloquium.
Each student must pass a written comprehensive examination.
