Master of Science in Computer Information Systems

Overview | Admissions | Requirements | Course Descriptions | Electives

Admissions

Applicants to the program must have a bachelor’s degree, and are required to submit official transcripts of previous academic work and three letters of recommendation.

In addition, applicants must complete the prerequisites listed below or demonstrate an equivalent level of proficiency through prior college-level courses or a waiver examination. Students are advised to discuss their background with the graduate student advisor in order to determine the best sequence of courses.

Prerequisites

Students without programming experience must complete:

  • MET CS 201 Introduction to Computer Science with C++
  • MET CS 331 Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with C++

Students who have prior programming experience must complete:

  • MET CS 231 Introduction to Computer Science for Programmers with C++ or
    MET CS 232 Introduction to Computer Science with Java

If college-level credit courses are not in evidence, the department will determine what prerequisite courses must be completed in addition to graduate degree requirements. Students claiming equivalent proficiency in the prerequisite courses from non-academic sources must take an examination to demonstrate such proficiency.

A maximum of two graduate-level courses (eight credits) taken at Metropolitan College before acceptance into the program may be applied toward the degree.
