Offered By: Nova Southeastern University
The Ph.D. in Computer Information Systems from NSU's Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences is offered in a hybrid format, which combines traditional and online instruction to provide professionals the opportunity to pursue graduate study while continuing to work in their current positions. The program is especially well suited to professionals in business, government, industry, or education who are involved with research, design, implementation, management, evaluation, utilization, or teaching of computer information systems. It provides technology-oriented professionals with the knowledge and ability to develop creative solutions to substantive real-world problems. Each student must complete eight core courses, two research project courses, and a dissertation. Students also have the option of pursuing this degree with a concentration in Information Security, which is recognized by the National Security Agency (NSA) based on its certification of the school's curriculum for compliance with the requirements of NSA national training standards. Students who complete the concentration may also request a graduate certificate.
