The Department of Management Science & Information Systems is home to the disciplines of Business & Data Analytics, Information Technology and Operations Research. Its faculty teach and do research on data modeling, data mining, reinforcement learning, security and privacy, risk, operations and decision-making. The department offers education in quantitative, computing, and information technology subjects. It covers information technology, data analysis and decision support, which are becoming more strongly intertwined and are essential components of the modern enterprise. Most modern organizations use computer systems to manage data and operations, analyze data, and support operational decision-making. Business graduates with strong information technology and analytical skills are highly prized, with demand exceeding supply for most of the last decade.
Students enrolled in the rSBI program can earn certificates with designated concentrations (course sets are required) or without a designated concentration (courses are selected by the student).
Courses are taken during the fall and spring semesters. Note that not all courses are offered every semester.
The Certificate in Management Science & Information Systems offers the following concentrations:
The Rutgers Stackable Business Innovation Program Certificate is flexible and does not require the student to complete specific courses under a concentration. Rather, the student can choose any courses from the rSBI catalog and must successfully complete a total of at least 9 credits to earn the certificate. To earn multiple such certificates, the student must successfully complete disjoint sets of courses across certificates (no repeat courses).
