Academic and Professional Preparation
Most students seeking the master's degree in MIS have undergraduate degrees in business, management, computer information systems, computer science, public administration, or related fields in the social sciences. Many also have MIS professional experience.
Regardless of prior academic experience or major, all students admitted to the degree program will have to clearly demonstrate that they have attained the knowledge associated with the following courses:
- Business Statistics or Quantitative Methods
May be satisfied by completing UCSP 630 or MGMT 585 - College Algebra
- Business or Management
May be satisfied by completing MGMT 511, which may count as an elective. - Programming Language
Demonstrating the attainment of this knowledge may be accomplished by official undergraduate or graduate transcripts and/or official scores from standardized exams such as CLEP and DANTES.
Students are encouraged to contact the Graduate Programs administrative staff by e-mail at gradrecords-mis@europe.umuc.edu, by telephone, or in person to discuss admission qualifications.
