Management Information Systems (MIS)

MBA MIS Concentration Prerequisites

MIS CONCENTRATION INFORMATION EFFECTIVE FOR STUDENTS ADMITTED JUNE 2007 OR THEREAFTER, REVISED 04/2007

One semester of programming, such as CS 152L (Computer Programming Fundamentals for Computer Science Majors) or MGMT 330 (Business Programming Fundamentals for MIS majors at ASM) or equivalent programming experience is a prerequisite for MGMT 632, 634, and 637. MGMT 639 requires instructor permission. All other courses have no prerequisites. Students may petition the concentration advisor for prerequisite or required course waivers based on equivalent coursework, professional training, or professional experience.

NEW! MBA Information Assurance Concentration
Students can pursue a MIS concentration and combine it with a concentration in Information Assurance (IA). Because of overlapping course requirements, students pursuing an Accounting or MIS concentration can typically complete a second concentration in IA with two or three additional courses. Students intending to pursue a dual concentration need to plan their studies in advance and coordinate the plan with both concentration advisors. Visit the Information Assurance concentration web site for more information.

The concentration requirements are 15 credit hours of graduate MIS courses.

Each student is strongly encouraged to meet with the concentration advisor as early as possible in their degree program to plan a suitable program of study.
