Department of Computer Information Systems

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)

Robinson offers the Master of Business Administration with a concentration (12 hours) or a major (18 hours) in information systems.

Students can elect to pursue a managerial focus or technical focus within this degree program. Prerequisites may be required for individual courses.

The CIS Department has eliminated the programming prerequisite for the MBA IS concentration and major. Many of the 8000-level courses in the CIS Department are managerially oriented (see below). Now you may take these managerially oriented CIS courses with no programming prerequisite. Folks who wish a more technically focused concentration still have this option open to them. Please contact Carl Stucke at cstucke@gsu.edu if you have questions or suggestions.

Concentrations offered

MBA students majoring in Information Systems may choose between five different concentrations.

Information Systems Management
Information Systems Development and Project Management
Health Informatics
The Wireless Organization
Information Systems Business Process Innovation (will be available soon; check with your CIS advisor)

These concentrations are the same as we offered previously in our no-longer-available MS IS. The only difference is in the core offering: the MBA has a core of all business courses, where the MS degree had a core of all Information Systems courses. Learn more about these five concentrations available to the MBA IS student.
