Four Concentration Courses - 16 units

The concentrations include a set of four courses for a total of 16 units,with at least one course from each of two broad areas: technology/tools and management/strategy. The concentrations generally fall within the field strengths of the core faculty. In addition, a student will be able to customize his or her own concentration. The customized concentration allows students to select a set of courses that would meet their needs, but keeping the principle that at least one course must come from each of the two areas, and no more than 8 units can be taken (or transferred from) outside I.S. In all cases, independent study classes can be used for concentration credits.Courses may apply to more than one concentration area (e.g., Internet Technology applies to both the electronic commerce and telecom concentrations). Additional courses offered by other schools at CGU, courses transferred into the degree, or independent study courses can be used to earn concentration units (see chart at the end of this section.)

Transfer Units

Students who have completed graduate courses in the competencies from accredited institutions will be able to transfer units into the program. Up to 8 units of transfer will be considered, although there may not be a full equivalency of units earned outside CGU to those required by CGU. In these cases, up to 8 additional transfer units may be considered for other I.S.-related courses taken at the graduate level at another accredited institution.
