The Andrew F. Brimmer College of Business and Information Science (CBIS) at Tuskegee University is excited to offer an interdisciplinary Master Science degree in Information Systems and Security Management (MS-ISSM) that prepares highly qualified professionals with concentration in areas of systems, security, and management. The CBIS’s Information Systems and Security Management (ISSM) curriculum is unique in the sense that it integrates both the business and computer science disciplines into a coherent area of study. Students learn how to use methods and tools to make strategic decisions about the implementation of management issues, information security issues, including identity theft and other forms of electronic fraud, computer viruses, hacking attacks, and even cyber warfare. The program will offer a thesis or non- thesis option. The program will consist of 27 course credits with 6 credits of research work for a Master of Science with thesis (33 hours). A non-thesis Master of Science will consist of 27 credits of courses and 3 credits of project (30 hours). The courses are divided into three categories: core, electives, and thesis/project. The basic prerequisite for admission to this program is a baccalaureate degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, Management, Information Technology, or a closely related field. The GRE or GMAT examination is required. Potential students with baccalaureate degrees in other related fields will be considered on an individual basis, possibly with provisional admission contingent upon validation of deficiencies. MS-ISSM students will collaborate with faculty and research associates of CAE/IAE (Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education) for their thesis or projects.
