Master of Science in Information Systems - COMP 696: Master's Essay
The master's essay is a single 3-credit requirement completed in addition to the foundations, core, and 3 career track courses. The essay provides a generalist rather than a specialist view, and may be a comprehensive critical survey of aspects of integration (applications, IS organization, and technology). Topics should show how different computer platforms and networks can be integrated to provide a flexible and efficient infrastructure for the organization. This course addresses both the WHAT and HOW of integration. The essay may identify significant open problems, but it is not expected to contribute significantly to their solution.
An essay supervisor is required, plus 1 additional reader. In addition to the essay, the student may be required to pass an oral exam on the contents of the master's essay, to be administered by the essay supervisor and reader.
