Management Information Systems (MIS)

The MS in Management Information Systems (MIS) prepares graduates to play an instrumental role in organizations seeking to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their information processes. The MIS program emphasizes both information systems and technology, enabling graduates to define, analyze, design, construct, and manage information systems. Students learn about such topics as systems architecture, software structures, data communication networks, and databases. In the practicum and seminar, students have the opportunity to explore areas of personal interest.

A major goal of Bowie State University’s (BSU) Graduate School is to provide high-quality professional programs. Continuously adapting to new trends in academia, business, and government, the Graduate School prides itself on being responsive to change in education and the workplace. The great majority of Bowie students, both in Maryland and in Europe, are working adults. To meet the needs of these students, classes are scheduled in the evenings, on weekends, and online.

All MIS courses are offered via distance education. This option offers students who are deployed or need to adjust their busy schedules the opportunity to continue their progress toward the degree even when they are unable to attend face-to-face classes. In addition, the distance education offerings cycle around much more frequently - typically about twice in each year.

Students learn about the impact of emerging technologies on information systems through case studies, design projects, and experiential exercises. Most adults working full time will need approximately 18 to 24 months to complete the degree
