Program Description:

The Internet Technology Program in the Department of MIS at the Terry College of Business is a part-time, two-year degree program offered at Gwinnett University Center in metro Atlanta. Classes are taught in the evenings two days per week. The program consists of five contiguous semesters, including one summer semester. Students who begin the program in the fall 2007 semester will graduate at the end of the spring 2009 semester. Students will proceed through the program as a cohort taking all courses together.

The primary goal of the PhD program in MIS at the University of Georgia is to develop competent scholars and teachers — individuals who will excel in research and teaching positions at other major universities. With this goal in mind, we have developed a PhD program that will provide you with significant individual flexibility, while at the same time ensuring that you acquire the necessary conceptual and methodological skills to begin work toward a leadership position in your field.
The program typically takes a four-year, full-time commitment. Students spend their first two years completing course work in MIS, research methods, and a supporting field, usually related to the student's dissertation research topic. The doctoral dissertation is completed in the final two years. Students are expected to remain at the University of Georgia until their dissertation is successfully defended.
