MS-Web/MS-MIS Dual Degree

Students who earn the MS-Web degree through North Central College may, with careful planning, earn the MS-MIS degree with a minimum of 18 additional graduate credit hours. Students who are interested in pursuing this option should work closely with the Faculty Coordinators from both the MS-MIS and MS-Web programs, as well as with the Director of Graduate and Continuing Studies. At a minimum, students must complete the MS-MIS foundational requirements, the MIS-MIS Core and one additional elective from the list of Management Perspective and Analytical Business Courses.
