Program Description:

The information systems management specialization focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating information systems that assist the public and private sectors in designing, producing, and maintaining productive operating environments.

The information systems management specialization provides a technical and managerial foundation for information systems professionals. It provides management-oriented computer information-system coursework, as opposed to computer-oriented management coursework. Courses are designed to develop a conceptual framework in system engineering, management of information systems, database architecture, system analysis and design, and issues relating to workplace productivity such as human factors, telecommunications, and ethics.

The information systems management specialization produces graduates who have developed the ability to conceptualize and manage the design and implementation of high-quality information systems. They must be able to communicate effectively - in speaking and in writing - the issues, problems, and recommendations involved in the management of information systems, and they must understand the role of information systems within a global context. They must also be able to perceive the historical and future implications of computing in an ever-changing environment and make informed choices when managing technological growth in their organizations.

Delivery format: Web-based online courses.
