BSISM - MSIS / Fast Track Degree

The Lewis University MSIS Fast Track degree option program allows Information Security and Risk Management majors to complete their undergraduate and graduate MSIS degree programs in less time than would be possible if taken separately. The graduate hours will be used to complete the Bachelor’s degree and to satisfy requirements for the Master’s degree. Students must apply for admission to the Fast Track option by submitting a MSIS Fast Track Intent Form to the Graduate School of Management at the beginning of their senior year. Students admitted to the program must begin the MSIS coursework in the semester following graduation.

Information Security and Risk Management majors must have completed a minimum of 90 credit hours with a GPA of at least 3.00 for all undergraduate coursework, including any transfer credit. Undergraduate BSISM majors must complete the graduate MSIS courses with a “B-” or better for admission into the MSIS Fast Track Program.
