A word about MS CIS

"Every class project so far has been directly related to the needs of our company. The flexibility and encouragement is there to relate the assignments to your specific organizational needs. My participation in the program has resulted in direct and immediate benefits for my employer."
Operating in an organization where technology and information assets are critical motivated Charlie Troppito to pursue an MS CIS degree. Charlie was looking for a graduate program with an emphasis on current information technologies, effective planning approaches and best management practices.
The University holds commencement exercises for all graduates at the conclusion of each of the regular semesters (May, late July or early August, and December). MS CIS students normally complete their final semester in early June. Students may elect to participate in either the Spring or Summer commencement exercises. Typically, members of each cohort discuss which date is most convenient for the majority of those graduating and try to participate together. Over 80% of the MS CIS graduates have returned to take part in the commencement exercises, though it is entirely optional. Most find Commencement an enjoyable opportunity to celebrate with family and friends and gather with their cohort for a final celebration of their accomplishment.
