About The Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students admitted to the Accelerated Master of Science in Information Science and Technology (MSIST) Degree Program begin their master\u2019s degree coursework in their senior year and take six graduate credits as part of the Bachelor of Science in Information Science & Technology (BSIST) degree requirement. The Accelerated MSIST allows students to shorten their MSIST degree to 24 credits while starting the program as an undergraduate, paying undergraduate tuition for those first 6 credits. It allows students to complete both degrees in less time at a reduced cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students may continue their studies in the MSIST program immediately upon completing their bachelor’s degree or they may defer their MSIST degree start date for up to 5 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
