Most classes require working on a real-world problem with local businesses as clients.
One of the purposes of graduate study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of an academic specialty. The Master's degree is an acknowledgement of this endeavor and the writing of a Master's project report is an important measure of the effort. Examples of projects include developing a client server application for a local manufacturing business to assist in their decision making or doing a feasibility analysis for migrating to a distributed processing environment. It is a substantial undertaking, requiring careful analysis and planning. A Master's project is required of all MIS Master's students.
