The Master of Management Information Systems (M.M.I.S.) represents an important state-of-the-art concept of graduate education in the field of management information systems (MIS). Merging management and technology education, it is designed to help both technical information technology (IT) professionals and professionals from other fields gain expertise in the management of information systems in modern organizations. It also encourages students to use the technology that you study as an integral tool in your graduate education itself. The M.M.I.S. promotes Metropolitan State's well-known ability to tie theory to practice, with a cutting-edge MIS education designed to have a "shelf life" that outlasts successive generations of hardware and software. The program core gives a strong background in management and information technology areas. Flexibility in elective courses, plus applications emphasis throughout courses, internships and the final integrative project give you a strong base for the future.
The program is designed to serve two distinct groups:
- Information management professionals who need a strong mix of management theory and practice along with technological competence. This group needs more technical education than an M.B.A. student, but less than a student who will be working in a purely technical capacity.
- Technical professionals who need to upgrade and update their technological skills while also updating their analytical and management abilities. Technical and project managers also need this type of mix, as well as systems analysts and managers who will be progressing in their careers. Any managerial or higher level professional in organizations where IT is important will find the M.M.I.S. of great value.
