Harrisburg University ISEM graduate studies are built on the following three (3) pillars, which are inter-related perspectives of successful system design and deployment:

  • Information Systems Technologies: development of skills and competencies in new and emerging technologies and their applications, including predictive and generative Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, Big Data, on-premise and Cloud Computing, Blockchains, Business Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0.
  • Systems Design: development of the ability to think broadly and holistically and gain a range of perspectives and skills, focusing on systems thinking and emphasis on development of integrated systems rather than individual components. This includes development of enterprise architectures that optimize the use of people, processes and technologies.
