MS in MIS at UNO International Dual Degree Track (1) with a Master of Arts (MA) in Management, Communication and Information Technology (MCiT) from Management Center Innsbruck (MCI), Austria

MS in MIS at UNO International Dual Degree Track (2) with a Masters in Management Information Systems from Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany (TUBS)


Today we live in a global environment with interdependent businesses, ubiquitous information technologies, and a mobile workforce. It is imperative that students develop global business and information technology skills. There is a growing demand for a supply of talented, well-prepared executives that have a deeper understanding of the global context in which organizations operate.

Therefore, the primary purpose of the international dual degree is to provide this integration by enabling students to complete either an MA in MCiT from the Management Center Innsbruck in Austria or a Masters in Management Information Systems from TUBS in Germany and an MS in Management Information Systems degree at UNO simultaneously.

The program is designed for dedicated students who are willing to take on the challenges related to graduate education from a global perspective - a European and an American lens with a joint area of emphasis on understanding Information Systems Development and Management. As such, this program involves intensive transatlantic preparation through a one-year study abroad engagement in the second year of the study program.

Structure of the Program and Admission Requirements

The international dual degree track within the MS in MIS degree at UNO has been implemented with the specific articulation of courses that will be transferred in both directions. Like the traditional MS in MIS program, this track will require the equivalent of 36 US credit hours of course work beyond any foundation requirements. Students who wish to pursue this option will work closely with an advisor to develop a detailed plan of study.

The basic structure and flow of the program will follow the traditional requirements of the MS in MIS program (and the partner's program). However, approximately half of the required coursework for both degrees will be taken in the partner school in Austria or Germany (for UNO students) and in the USA (for MCI or TUBS students).

UNO students will spend their first year (fall, spring, and summer) taking core courses in Omaha. MCI (Austria) students will take their first-year courses in Innsbruck. TUB students (Germany) will take their first-year courses in Braunschweig. In the second year of the program, the students will travel overseas and take the remaining courses equivalent to one full year of study to satisfy the requirements of the corresponding programs. The established admission requirements for the UNO MS in MIS program and the MCI or TUBS programs and appropriate UNO Graduate College quality of work standards will be followed.

Students will apply to both MCI or TUBS and UNO through their respective application processes. Once approved for admission, students will receive separate admission letters to UNO's MS in MIS and MCI's MA MCiT or the TUB Masters in IS program.
