Sofia University and Stevens Institute of Technology offer a joint Master's program where students pursue a Stevens' Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS). By transferring the credit for equivalent courses, students can earn almost half the credits of their MSIS through the Sofia University program. The rest of the credits can be obtained via courses taught by Stevens faculty in Sofia.

The initial success of this program, that combines the strengths of both universities, is the result of a grant awarded by USAID, and the strong collaboration existing between the two institutes. The MSIS has been ranked 5th by the American press. Stevens is a major and prestigious American university situated on the banks of the Hudson River, opposite Manhattan, at Hoboken (New Jersey).

Stevens in Sofia

In December 2007, Stevens awarded its first Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) to 20 Bulgarian candidates. The program is identical to the one at the Hoboken campus, with all courses in English and taught by Stevens' faculty hosted at Sofia University.

Masters of Science in Information Systems (Computer Science Concentration) Program

 Stevens' Faculty conducts/teaches the following courses:

 1) MIS750 Management of IT Organizations
 2) MIS760 IT Strategy
 3) MIS710 Process Innovation and Management
 4) MIS730 Integrating IS Technologies
 5) MGT609 Introduction to Project Management
 6) MGT623 Financial Management
 7) MGT680 Organization Behavior and Theory

Students will transfer the credit for five Computer Science courses taught by Sofia University Faculty that are equivalent to Stevens Computer Science courses.

Admission to the MSIS program requires a bachelor's degree, preferably in Information Systems, Computer Science, or Business with at least a B average from an accredited college or university.
