Doctor's degree Computer Science Enterprise Information Systems from Colorado Technical University - Colorado Springs is a Campus Ph.D Information Technology degree that prepares you for a IT career. The Doctor of Computer Science ? Enterprise Information Systems program at Colorado Technical University is designed to develop leaders in designing, implementing and managing large-scale systems in their chosen profession. Program Outcomes Attain familiarity with the body of knowledge in current enterprise information systems . Become a familiar with models such as CMMI and the Baldridge Process. Effectively communicate technical material to non-technical decision makers. Effectively manage IT implementation process, testing and user training. Predict future trends through effective research using qualitative and quantitative methods. Contribute to the enterprise information systems literature via literature reviews, practitioner articles and research articles. Year 1: The Foundation The beginning of the program is all about research. Each student will spend the first year learning about analysis and design from a user perspective while forming the ability to think critically and creatively. This experience will enable the student to develop an enterprise information system designed to improve business processes. Year 2: Acquisition of Knowledge Once the foundation is in place, year two is where the student chooses an area of specialization and gains an in-depth knowledge of four common areas: strategy, structure, requirements engineering, and decision support. This deeper level of understanding will result in an industry white paper and a proposal for research to be conducted in the third year. Year 3: Leadership and Professional Advancement The final year of the program involves developing a formal implementation program, taking into consideration budget, training and testing and developing a critical path to completion, anticipating and planning for the future. The deliverable in year three is an applied research project, to be submitted to an academic journal. The DCS-EIS program includes twelve 5-credit classes, one per quarter for three years. These are taught using the Professional Learning Model? in an executive format. Each combines an active online component with an intensive residential session, lasting four days at our Colorado Springs campus. These are graded classes, and you must maintain and average of 3.3 out of a possible 4.0 in these classes. There are also 12 Research and Writing (R&W) courses. A student takes one R&W course in conjunction with one core course per quarter. There are two options in the R&W curriculum: journal and dissertation. The journal option produces four projects (i.e. literature review, research proposal, a publishable quality practitioner article, and a publishable quality academic article) during the program. The dissertation option is the more traditional in-depth research endeavor that has both the former two projects plus the completion of the dissertation. These are independent study with the assistance of a faculty mentor. Each project must receive a grade of "satisfactory" in order to complete the degree .
