Dual MS/MSIS Degree Option

The College of Information Science and Technology offers a dual master's degree program, leading to the Master of Science in Library and Information Science (MS) and the Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS). The dual degree combines the focus of the MS program a concern with selecting, organizing, managing and accessing information resources to meet user's information needs with the MSIS graduates skills in creating and managing the databases, interfaces, and information systems that connect users with the information they are seeking. Students who pursue this path greatly increase their ability to compete in today's cutting-edge information marketplace, where the importance of digitized information resources and the needs of organizations and companies to provide networked access to these resources via intranet gateways and knowledge management systems is steadily increasing.

Graduate students already enrolled in a master's degree program at Drexel have the opportunity, through the dual master's program, to work simultaneously on two masters degrees and to receive both upon graduation. To be eligible, graduate students must be currently working on their first degree when requesting admission to the second.
