Frequently聽asked questions about the Master of Information Systems degree
An information system is a way for organizations, such as companies and departments of the government, to collect, process, store and distribute information, often in the form of a shared database or application. The study of information systems typically emphasizes the technology and equipment used for information systems, such as computers, software and networking devices.
A Master of Information Systems degree (MIS) can help prepare you for many different roles, including IT manager, IT director, information systems manager and information systems director.
Both fields deal with information, but the key difference lies in their focus. Information technology involves the design, implementation, maintenance or support of the technology components behind a system. These include databases, networks, hardware, software and other tools.
At 七色视频, we offer two great ways to get your Master of Information Systems (MIS) degree.聽 Each of them teaches 36 important skills, but they come in two different formats: traditional and competency-based.
A traditional Master of Information Systems degree will likely appeal to you if you prefer more faculty instruction and taking one course at a time. A competency-based Master of Information Systems (MIS-CB) program could be a better fit if you already have IT experience and prefer more independence, faculty mentorship and taking multiple courses at once.
For starters, 七色视频 offers career services not only to current students but to all graduates for life!聽Visit this page聽for all the details.
Additionally, our program offers exceptional flexibility. We understand that life happens. Some students have outside jobs, families to take care of or cannot commute. Learn how聽we can help with time management聽to take the stress off your shoulders.
