University of Michigan - Flint

The MS in Computer and Information Systems program is designed primarily for working professionals wishing to improve their skills and knowledge in computer and information technology-related fields as well as those interested in pursuing a career in this exciting and rewarding field.

The program offers two concentrations, a Computer Science Concentration and an Information Systems Concentration, as well as preparatory Fast Track to allow students from non-Computer Science backgrounds to quickly prepare themselves for the program.

• The Computer Science Concentration is a rigorous technical program designed to provide the student with in-depth state-of-the-art knowledge in critical computer-related technologies such as Architecture, Databases, Networking, Algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence.
