Program Description

Build advanced in-demand skills with a program that fuses the latest information management expertise with business strategy.

The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) is a STEM-designated degree designed for professionals who aspire to senior management roles in career tracks that have a significant technological component. You will study in a dual AACSB-accredited program and will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate IS for a business organization and develop and implement the appropriate IS strategies, all while attending to the ethical and legal implications of data and technology-related issues. International students who graduate with an MSIS from Rider may be eligible for a STEM OPT Extension to extend their post-completion OPT (optional practical training) authorization.

The Information Technology (IT) job market continues its rapid growth as the lower cost of developing applications and expanding user platforms creates additional demands for qualified IT employees.

Dual degree options

Combine an M.S. in Information Systems with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a Master of Accountancy (MAcc) to build your credentials, skills, and knowledge base. Our dual-degree offerings allow students to earn both degrees with fewer total credits than earning the degrees separately.

Professional Accreditation

Rider University’s Norm Brodsky College of Business graduate and undergraduate programs are accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The initial accreditation was achieved in 1993 and reaffirmed regularly thereafter. In addition, the accounting program was further recognized for excellence with AACSB International Accounting Accreditation in 2000 and also is reaffirmed on a regular basis.
