How hard is the Masters of Information Systems program?

How hard is the Masters of Information Systems program for someone who doesn’t have a background in computers or mathematics? I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Architecture and I’m looking into other disciplines. I am interested particularly interested in UMBC’s Master of Information Systems program mainly because the job market appears excellent and I have always had an interest in technology.

IT job market is not excellent these days. Many big corporations are laying people off(Sun,Dell,Hp,Ibm,Symanted).
Regarding your question, as long as you took basic programming courses in college you should be fine. But they will probably require you to take some business course prerequisites first.

Well, they may require some remedial coursework, but your sciences and maths (involved in your BS in Archetecture) should prepare you well for the coursework.
