The Master of Science in Business: Information Systems (MSIS) Program at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland is recruiting students now for Fall 2012 admission. This program prepares students to lead in the ongoing technology revolution. Throughout the curriculum, the emphasis is maximizing the strategic and tactical value of IT to gain competitive advantage.

The MSIS Program is offered through the Decision, Operations, and Information Technologies (DO&IT) Department in the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. The curriculum is taught by DO&IT’s world renown faculty—acknowledged thought leaders in Web 2.0 technologies, electronic markets, database management, project management, transformational and disruptive technologies, and the impact and management of technology in organizations. See the faculty information at the DO&IT website at: http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/doit/

The Smith School’s strengths in both research and practice are reflected in its rankings and other accolades. The Smith School and the DO&IT Department was recently ranked as one of the top ten tech-centric programs in the US by CIO Magazine. U.S. News and World Report ranks the Smith School as having the fifth best program in management information systems. The Wall Street Journal ranks Smith's information technology program #6. In addition, the school’s full-time, part-time and executive MBA programs are all ranked among the nation’s best.

Just as important, it all takes place in one of the strongest IT regions in the world at the University of Maryland’s College Park campus, several miles away from Washington, D.C, a choice, sophisticated area in which to learn, work and network in the IS profession.

The program can be completed in one year of full-time study but can be extended up to two years. Curriculum details, admission requirements and FAQs are available by clicking on the corresponding tabs on the left.
