Master of Information System Management

Last updated

The Master in Information System Management, also known as Masters in Management Information Systems or Master of Science in Information System Management is a professional Master's degree in Information Systems, Information Technology, Computer Science and Management. The degree is also known as Master of Science in Information Management or Master of Information Systems with curriculum overlap (abbreviated M.ISM, MS.IM, M.IS or similar), although MISM, MMIS and MSISM have significantly more business/management content than Masters in IS.

A master's degree is an academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course. Within the area studied, master's graduates are expected to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently.

Management Coordinating the efforts of people

Management is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.

In applying statistics to a scientific, industrial, or social problem, it is conventional to begin with a statistical population or a statistical model to be studied. Populations can be diverse groups of people or objects such as "all people living in a country" or "every atom composing a crystal". Statistics deals with every aspect of data, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. See glossary of probability and statistics.

The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS), the Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS), and Masters in Management Information Systems are specialized master's degree programs usually offered in a university's College of Business and in integrated Information Science & Technology colleges in recent years. The MSIS degree is designed for those managing design and development information technology, especially the information systems development process. The MSIS degree is often thought to be functionally equivalent to a Master of Information Systems/Technology Management, however the two are distinguishable in that the latter has much more equitable composition of information science/systems, and business/management. Nonetheless, for the purposes of this broad overview, MSIS is included with MSMIS and MMIS which are specialized master's degree programs recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
