As unemployment numbers remain high, a recent study by Yahoo! Education named a degree in information systems as the sixth best degree for job security and good pay. As technology becomes a part of the fundamental infrastructure of modern business, more companies are increasingly relying on information systems to gather data and communicate internally and externally.
American Sentinel University's information systems degree programs teach managers how to plan, coordinate, direct research and facilitate the computer-related activities of a business. A professional with a Master of Science in Information Systems can advance to careers in business application development and support, database administration and information technology management.
"Our newly redesigned M.S. Information Systems program helps the IT rank and file reach their potential as mid-level managers in the IT industry," says Danette Lance, Ph.D., Dean, Computer Science and Information Systems/Information Technology at American Sentinel University. "At American Sentinel University our students have access to unique and compelling programs in high-demand industries like IT. We give students an enterprise perspective which becomes more and more important as professionals move up the ladder to become the most sought-after IT professionals on the job market."
While there are no guarantees in today's job market, a report in the Vancouver Sun found that one of the biggest employment niches is for computer and information professionals. The Department of Labor forecasts a 17 percent surge in jobs for information systems managers through 2018 and a degree in information systems clearly outperforms all others.
American Sentinel University offers both a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Security (BS ISS) and a Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS - Security) to prepare students for the new information age so that they can to go into a company, access it for potential security breaches and plan for disaster recovery.
