This course is designed for those who want to advance their careers in the technology industry. The Graduate Certificate in Information Systems and Technology is nested within this course.

You will develop advanced problem-solving skills, learn how to plan information systems and information technology, and integrate information systems planning with business planning. You will also be provided with the knowledge and skills you need to complete a successful research project. 

In your final semester, you will conduct your own research project and prepare a dissertation on your findings under the guidance of one of our experienced staff.
