Graduate Studies in Information Systems Engineering and Management The 36 semester hour graduate program in Information Systems Engineering and

Management (ISEM) is designed to educate the leaders who can manage, as well as engineer/re-engineer, the systems needed to support the modern digital enterprises. Graduate studies in ISEM cut across three active areas of work in the digital age:

• Information Systems: latest technologies and approaches (e.g., web-based components, wireless systems, business intelligence, business process modeling)

• Systems Engineering: systems thinking and emphasis on systems instead of individual components; architecting systems consisting of people, processes and technologies

• Management: planning, integration, security, and governance issues

The ISEM degree is a flexible and interdisciplinary program that emphasizes the global enterprise architecture and planning issues. An ISEM student may specialize in the following areas:

• Project Management

• Digital Government

• Digital Health

• Entrepreneurship

• No Specialization (take different courses from different areas)

The core courses of the program provide the student with a strong, relevant and timely background in strategic planning, systems engineering, business strategy and management, service science and management, business systems analysis and design, and enterprise architectures and integration. The student can then take elective courses in topics that span project management, multimedia management, entrepreneurships, digital governments, digital health, enterprise management, leadership, financial aspects of systems, learning technologies, business intelligence, Internet technologies, information security and governance, business process modeling, mobile computing, and others. In addition, research-oriented students can pursue independent studies and master’s thesis projects to investigate areas of individual or professional interest. An experiential project course serves as the required capstone of the program.
