The CUNY School of Professional Studies is pleased to announce its new online Master of Science in Information Systems degree program.
The online M.S. in Information Systems was designed in response to the growing need for individuals with the skills to transform large amounts of data into meaningful knowledge, and then apply this knowledge to real world problems. Advances in information technology have created numerous opportunities for revolutionizing the ways that organizations do business, from reinventing the consumer experience, to improving operating efficiencies and increasing profitability.
Students enrolled in the program develop the technical, analytic, business, and contextual skills to identify and analyze large-scale, data-driven solutions within 21st century organizations. For students interested in focusing on the unique challenges that face urban information systems such as transportation, energy, building performance, and public safety, a track in urban sustainability is available.
The use of data for modeling, simulation, and analysis spans a number of different industries such as communications, digital media, healthcare, retail, energy, and government. Graduates from the M.S. in Information Systems program are prepared for technical positions in these industries and more, and students who opt for the track in urban sustainability are prepared for careers in this new and rapidly expanding field.
