Open Information Computer Systems (MS)
This Program permits students to obtain a Professional Certificate in Technology and Administration of Databases and with further studies a Master in Science in Open Information Computer Systems.
The fundamental purpose of the Program is to form professionals in the field of computers who develop information systems in open settings and architecture in both public and private organizations.
In order to comply with the requirements to a present creative work that demonstrates the capacity to integrate the acquired knowledge, candidates to the Master in Computer Sciences in Open Information Systems, must defend the developed project before a Program Committee in COIS 6980.
The Metropolitan Campus is authorized to offer this Program.
