The Department of Computing offers four graduate programs, including the Master of Science in Computer Science, the Master of Science in Information Systems, the Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics, and the Graduate Certificate in Intelligent Enterprise. The Master of Science in Information Systems is a technically-oriented degree for anyone who wants to understand technology in a business context. This certificate allows students from any background to increase their technical expertise in Information Technology and Information Systems.
The Intelligent Enterprise certificate is focused on applying advanced technologies and best practices to integrated business processes resulting in sustainable competitive strategies and best-run businesses. Students will use SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for experiential learning of integrated business processes. With this education and skills, the student will then focus on information system project management and digital transformation. Digital transformation is the application of advanced technologies to create new business processes and models to enable significant organizational performance. This concentration can lead to SAP and Project Management Institute certifications.
