Management Information Systems M.M.I.S. (Online)

Mission

The Master of Management Information Systems (MMIS) program at Georgia College has been awarding quality degrees since 1989.  Georgia College offers the only graduate management information systems program in middle Georgia.  The MMIS degree is designed to prepare students for a position in designing, implementing and managing corporate information resources or serving as a liaison between a functional area and a centralized IT office.  The curriculum aligns with the required knowledge for the CISA exam, making the MMIS degree a smart choice for individuals interested in a career in IT auditing as well.  

The online hybrid format of the Master of Management Information Systems (MMIS) program blends asynchronous online learning with required synchronous online sessions scheduled from 5:30 to 8:15 p.m. EST approximately one night every other week of the semester.  These synchronous sessions allow you to meet "face-to-face" with your professor and classmates from anywhere in the world.

Our students have undergraduate degrees from all majors and work in different functional areas.  You do not need an undergraduate degree in a technology field to select the MMIS degree.
