Certain undergraduate courses taken by a student can be used to waive these foundation courses. In addition to any required foundation courses, MMIS students must possess knowledge of programming or take two programming courses at Auburn. A minimum of 30 hours beyond the foundation core is required for the MMIS degree, though more hours may be necessary for some students to compensate for any deficiencies. Each student will complete an application project, in lieu of the MS program thesis, which must be approved by the student's advisory committee. Should additional hours be desired or needed, the student may take courses in a variety of disciplines as long as the courses are numbered 6000 or higher.
Additional hours are subject to approval by the student's advisory committee.
The master's committee must contain two MIS professors. Prior to starting the program, student must have an adequate background in quantitative methods and fundamentals of business education. In lieu of completing undergraduate courses in each of these fields, students can pass a competency examination administered through the MBA office.
