The applicant for the Master of Science in Information Systems (M.S.I.S.) program should hold a bachelor’s degree from a fully recognized four-year institution of higher learning that enjoys unconditional accreditation by appropriate regional accrediting agencies. The applicant must meet all general requirements stated in this publication. The applicant for the M.S.I.S. program must have a grade point average of 3.00/4.00 or higher over the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework. Admission to the M.S.I.S. program also requires a competitive score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). While either GMAT or GRE scores are accepted, the GMAT is strongly preferred. When a student is deficient in one of the criteria cited, the student's application may still be considered based on the strength of other materials contained in the student's application. However, reasonable minimum levels must be achieved in both the applicant's GPA and GMAT/GRE scores. Our full-time, on-campus, and distance M.S.I.S programs accept applications for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. The deadlines for submitting all application materials, including GMAT or GRE scores, are the same general deadlines used by The Graduate School. These deadlines can be found in the Admissions Requirements section of the Graduate Catalog. An international applicant not holding a prior degree from a U.S. institution must submit an indicator of English proficiency including one of the following: (1) TOEFL score of 575 PBT (84 iBT) or (2) IELTS score of 7.0.
