Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS)
through WebCampus.Stevens

Stevens offers a Master of Science degree in Information Systems (MSIS) with a concentration in Information Management.


Verizon Wireless has partnered with Stevens Institute of Technology to offer a Master's Program in Information Systems.

The program is called a “lock-step” program because you will remain with the same group of students for the twelve course program.  Each semester your classes are reserved for you so you do not have to go through the traditional registration process. The lock-step program follows a unique calendar and this is not the same as the on-campus weeknight program that you will find on the university calendar.

     Program Location

The MSIS program will be given online through Stevens WebCampus program.  Courses will be conducted through WebCt and Interwise real time conference software.  The WebCt software will allow students to access and post to weekly discussion boards, participate in weekly assignments, quizzes and final exams.  The Interwise webconferences will allow students to participate in lectures, team projects and have real-time instructor advising during the course sessions.
