Eligibility

Application for the MS-IS program is open to students with undergraduate degrees in any discipline. We seek students whose academic records and work experiences identify them as potential leaders in IT practice.

Applying

In reviewing your application, we consider several criteria including your undergraduate and, if applicable, graduate performance, your GMAT or GRE scores, your work experience, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular involvement.

The following items should be included in a complete application:

To register for the GMAT, you may call 1-800-GMAT-NOW or register via the internet at www.gmat.org To register for the GRE, you may call 1-800-GRE-CALL, or register via the internet at www.gre.org.  The University of Cincinnati through Communiversity offers both GMAT and GRE preparation courses, the next session will run from January 21st to February 25th.  To register for either of these courses you may call 1-513-556-6932 or visit the communiversity website.

Include all transcripts in their originally sealed envelopes as part of your application. A transcript request form can be downloaded from: www.business.uc.edu/MSIS/Admissions/Application. International students from institutions that do not issue academic transcripts can submit certified copies of their marksheets.

Please provide each of these individuals with a copy of the recommendation form. The recommendation form can be downloaded from: www.business.uc.edu/MSIS/Admissions/Application.

Dept code is 82). The minimum acceptable TOEFL score for admission is 250 for the computer-based test or 600 for the paper-based test or 100 for the new internet based test.
