Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences - Information Systems (Thesis)

The Master of Computer and Information Science (MS-CIS) Program can be pursued in three areas of concentration: Computer Science; Information Systems; or Software Engineering. An undergraduate academic background in the chosen area is required for entry into the graduate program. Grades of “B” or above are expected in any undergraduate preparatory course work taken at UNF. The MS-CIS program is designed to add breadth and depth to a typical bachelor’s degree program in the chosen area. Students may pursue either a thesis option or a non-thesis option under each concentration. These options allow the student to demonstrate overall mastery of the discipline by either submitting a thesis or completing additional in-depth coursework. Specifically, the thesis option entails completion of 24 credit hours of coursework and at least 6 credit hours of thesis, for total of at least 30 credit hours; and the non-thesis option entails completion of 36 credit hours of coursework.
