Master 
                                      of Information Systems (MS)
                                     School of Business and 
                                      Economics 
                                      Atlantic International University
                                     
                                      The Master of Information Systems (MS) program 
                                      objective is to provide students with the 
                                      ability to synthesize complex quantitative 
                                      and qualitative concepts in a pragmatic, 
                                      problem-solving oriented way combining information 
                                      technology practices with business practices. 
                                      The Master of Information Systems (MS) program 
                                      is offered online via distance learning. 
                                      After evaluating both academic record and 
                                      life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction 
                                      with Faculty and Academic Advisors will 
                                      assist students in setting up a custom-made 
                                      program, designed on an individual basis. 
                                      This flexibility to meet student needs is 
                                      seldom found in other distance learning 
                                      programs. Our online program does not require 
                                      all students to take the same subjects/courses, 
                                      use the same books, or learning materials. 
                                      Instead, the online Master of Information 
                                      Systems (MS) curriculum is designed individually 
                                      by the student and academic advisor. It 
                                      specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses 
                                      with respect to market opportunities in 
                                      the student’s major and intended field 
                                      of work. Understanding that industry and 
                                      geographic factors should influence the 
                                      content of the curriculum instead of a standardized 
                                      one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s 
                                      unique approach to adult education. This 
                                      philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly 
                                      changing environment of working professionals 
                                      by helping adult students in reaching their 
                                      professional and personal goals within the 
                                      scope of the degree program. 
                                    Important: Below is an example of the topics 
                                      or areas you may develop and work on during 
                                      your studies. By no means is it a complete 
                                      or required list as AIU programs do not 
                                      follow a standardized curriculum. It is 
                                      meant solely as a reference point and example.
