| Database
and Web systems Track of study |
 |
|
 |
| This track will expose students
to the fundamental concepts of distributed systems
and provide the necessary knowledge and skills
to design and develop network-based information
systems with a focus on e-business emphasizing
systems and technology. This
track will provide the system-oriented theory as
well as knowledge and skills required for e-business,
e-government and other integrated collaboration
systems. |

| Track Prerequisites |
| |
The MSIS program requires Math, Statistics, and
a programming language as prerequisites. Given
the number of advanced systems courses in this
track, students should have an undergraduate data
structures course as well. While this course
can be taken after admission, it would require
that 13 courses rather than 12 be taken to complete
the degree. Finally, students are encouraged
to have programming experience in more than one
language -- C and Java are the ideal combination. Thus,
before beginning the track, students should have
completed:
- Math - Calculus or Discrete Math Course
is preferred
- Stats
- Programming Language: C++ or Java (preferably
both)
- Undergraduate Data Structures
