随着全球定位系统，移动设备和地理信息系统（GIS）的普及，在公共部门和私营部门中，用于管理，分析和决策的空间数据的使用已大大增加。GIS的集中性为学生提供了管理地理空间数据并将其应用于解决地理空间问题的技术和概念技能。学生将学习地理空间数据和地图系统，全球定位系统，计算机系统中地理空间数据的表示和管理，地图的构建和使用以及将地理空间功能用于决策支持的原理。管理信息系统（MIS）学位的理科硕士旨在为学生提供开发和管理组织的信息资源，技术和基础架构所需的技能和背景。它将为有意获得高级学位的MIS毕业生和从业人
The use of spatial data for management, analysis, and decision-making has grown dramatically in both the public and private sectors, as global positioning systems, mobile devices, and geographic information systems (GIS) have become widespread. The concentration in GIS provides students with the technical and conceptual skills to manage geospatial data and apply it to solving geospatial problems. Students will learn the principles of geospatial data and mapping systems, global positioning systems, representation and management of geospatial data within computer systems, construction and use of maps, and the use of geospatial functions for decision-support. The Master of Science in management information systems (MIS) degree is designed to give students the skills and background needed to develop and manage an organization's information resources, technology, and infrastructure. It will serve as a source of added knowledge and experience for MIS graduates and practitioners interested in obtaining an advanced degree. It will also provide career growth opportunities for the non-MIS and non-business degree holders who find that their careers demand graduate level MIS education. The MS in MIS prepares students for a variety of positions, including applications and web-site developer, computer network manager, business system analyst/manager, consultant, and technology manager. The MS in MIS also prepares students for admission to doctoral programs in information systems. A community advisory committee helps keep the program current with the needs of the business community.The ISQA department offers several graduate programs in Management Information System (MIS) that serve as a source of added knowledge and experience for MIS graduates and practitioners interested in obtaining an advanced degree. It will also provide career growth opportunities for the non-MIS and non-business degree holders who find that their careers demand graduate level MIS education.
