The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS), the Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS) and Masters in Management Information Systems (MMIS) are specialized master's degree programs usually offered in a university's College of Business and in integrated Information Science and Technology colleges. The MSIS degree is designed for those managing design and development information technology, especially the information systems development process.{{cite web |url=http://kelley.iu.edu/isgp/msis/ |title=Master of Science in Information Systems: Information Systems Graduate Programs: Kelley School of Business: Indiana University Bloomington |accessdate=2010-03-19 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213221447/http://kelley.iu.edu/isgp/msis/ |archivedate=2007-12-13 }}{{cite web|url=http://cs.nyu.edu/web/Academic/Graduate/msis.html|title=MS in Information Systems - NYU Computer Science|website=Cs.nyu.edu|accessdate=7 September 2018}}

The MSIS degree is thought{{by whom|date=May 2022}} to be functionally equivalent to a Master of Information Systems/Technology Management; however, the two are distinguishable in that the latter has much more equitable composition of information science/systems, and business/management. MSMIS and MMIS degrees are recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).{{Cite web |url=http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/AccreditedMembers.asp |title=AACSB Business and Accounting Accreditation |access-date=2010-03-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910083931/http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/AccreditedMembers.asp |archive-date=2012-09-10 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web | url=https://www.acbsp.org/page/membership_list | title=Educational Members - Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs }}

A joint committee of Association for Information Systems (AIS) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) members developed a model curriculum for the MSIS in 2006.{{cite journal|author=Gorgone|display-authors=etal|date=2006|title=MSIS 2006: Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Graduate Degree Programs in Information Systems|journal=Communications of the AIS|volume=17|pages=1–56|url=http://www.acm.org/education/education/curric_vols/MSIS%202006.pdf}}
