The Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) degree prepares the next generation of technology managers to lead enterprises in innovative ways. Schooled in the interdisciplinary Carnegie Mellon University tradition and trained as analytical problem solvers, our graduates will develop and deploy IT to create value for their organizations and society. MISM is a fast-paced, three-semester program that has a successful ten-year track record. Students with more than three years of professional work experience can complete the degree in one calendar year (May to May). Students with less work experience are required to perform a summer internship and complete the program in sixteen months.
