M.S. Information System Engineering and Management

The 36-semester hour graduate program in Information Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) is designed to educate the leaders who can plan, architect, integrate, and manage the systems needed to support the modern digital enterprises. Graduate studies in ISEM cut across the following three active areas of work:

• Information Systems - latest technologies and approaches (e.g. web-based components, mobile computing and wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies);

• Systems Engineering - systems thinking and emphasis on systems instead of individual components; enterprise architectures consisting of people, processes and technologies; and

• Management - business strategies, entrepreneurship, planning integration, security, governance, global enterprises, and agile enterprises.
