Curriculum
Degree Requirements
The MMIS program requires completion of 30 total credit hours, distributed as follows:
- Two specialized graduate certificate tracks (each ~12 credits)
- Two capstone courses (6 credits total)
Students are individually responsible for meeting coursework requirements. Students should ensure that they are aware of all requirements and initiate resolution of any apparent inconsistencies. MMIS students are required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA for degree-program courses. Grades of C- or lower will not be accepted. Modifications or substitutions for the listed MMIS course requirements can be made with department approval.
Here are some important requirements and details to keep in mind:
- At least 18 credits of the 30 credits must be 6000-level courses per USU Graduate School requirements.
- Most advanced courses require skills in Python (DATA 3500) and Database (DATA 3330). Plan to take these courses prior to entering the program or in your first semester.
- Students in the face-to-face program can take online courses. Face-to-face students should be aware that the tuition amount for online courses is different, see the Tuition Overview.
- Course substitutions can be made within certificate tracks or among the 2 capstone courses (6 credits) with approval from the academic advisor.
- A given course cannot be used to complete more than one certificate, or both a certificate and a capstone credit requirement.
