GOALS of the Master of Science Information Systems (MSIS) Graduate Program
The Department of Information Systems at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is proposing a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS). The proposed MSIS degree program is designed to provide students with advanced training and to develop workplace skills highly valued by employers. The degree will provide students with core analytic and technical competencies, and it will also expose students to business and collaboration skills that will make graduates competitive in the workplace. The curriculum will focus on three job skill categories: technical, business, and analytical areas. It is designed to provide training in each of these three areas to best prepare graduates for career success. For the purposes of this proposal, we will refer to our proposed program as a Master of Science in Information Systems, or MSIS.
