MIS NOTE
A student in the MIS concentration may take either MGMT-4150 IT Project Management or ITEC-4100 ITEC Capstone Experience to satisfy the IT Capstone requirement. If MGMT-4150 is taken to satisfy the capstone requirement, then this course must be replaced in the MIS concentration with another course. The following courses have been pre-approved as replacement courses are:

MGMT-4160 Telecommunications for Business
MGMT-4550 Business Models for Digital Enterprises
MGMT-4961 Data Resource Management

All other substitutions must be approved by Prof. Robert Sands

Please be aware that the ITEC 4100 - IT Capstone fulfills your writing requirement, MGMT-4150 IT Project Management does not.
