Abstract

A database and reports are created to help manage the Master of Science in Computer Science and Information Systems program at University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The current system provided by the university registrar is limited to reporting only required coursework for individual students. The new database incorporates the required coursework, as well as program pre-requisites and capstone project/thesis progress. Per-student reports now integrate all requirements of the program in one place. In addition, program-level reports display information aggregated across students, such as counts of students at different stages of the capstone. The improved database and new reporting capabilities improve operational decision making, as well as reporting for program review and accreditation purposes.
