UMBC's Online Master of Science in Information Systems is intended for professionals who desire to extend their knowledge and experience in information systems (IS). At UMBC, many of our IS graduate students say they apply new skills and methodologies that increase their value to employers well before graduation. The curriculum features courses that address issues associated with project management in an information systems environment, as well as those also derived from critical focus on the following research areas:

• Database/Data Mining
• Human-Centered Computing (HCC)
• Software Engineering/System Analysis and Design
• Application Domains (such as Health Informatics)

IT industry statistics are clear: many progressively challenging, high-paying positions remain vacant because there is a critical need for qualified IT professionals throughout the country. UMBC is a top research university in IS and offers the same accredited Master's degree online - developed by research faculty - as our on-campus program.
