The 36 semester hour graduate program in Information Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) at Harrisburg University is designed to educate the leaders who can plan, engineer and re-engineer, and manage the systems needed to support the modern digital enterprises. If you are an international student interested in pursuing a graduate degree, please email CPT@HarrisburgU.edu and the materials will be sent out to you. Or you can complete the online application here.
HU graduate studies in ISEM cut across the following three active areas of work:
- Information Systems – latest technologies and approaches (e.g. web-based components, mobile computing and wireless communications, business intelligence, and emerging technologies);
- Systems Engineering – systems thinking and emphasis on systems instead of individual components; enterprise architectures consisting of people, processes and technologies; and,
- Management – business strategies, entrepreneurship, planning integration, security, governance, global enterprises, and agile enterprises.
ISEM at HU is a flexible and interdisciplinary program that emphasizes the enterprise architecture, planning and management issues at global levels. An HU ISEM student may specialize in the following areas: artificial intelligence, business intelligence, digital government, digital health, entrepreneurship, information security, smart cities, software engineering, systems development, and technology management as part of their individualized concentration.
What separates the ISEM MS program from it's peers?
The focus is on how the current and next generation of Digital Enterprises will be planned, engineered and managed. This implies:
- Digital Enterprises include Smart Cities, Smart Communities, Industry4.0, Digital Health, Energy, eAgriculture and virtually all variations of Next Generation Enterprises (NGEs) in the public and private sectors
- We are not focused on one aspect (e.g., Management) of NGEs –We cover the entire Plan-Engineer-Manage cycle of Systems Engineering
- We are not focused on one technology (e.g., AI) of NGEs either but instead cover how Analytics, AI, Semantic Web, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, DevOps, ERPs and Mobile Apps are integrated into building NGEs
