Management Information   Systems Major

     The Management Information Systems program combines a focus on Information Technology and the business workplace.  Majors will get a business orientation that enables them to succeed no matter what direction technology goes.  An MIS degree prepares students for work in business firms, public agencies, and non-profit organizations where information is created, manipulated, and used.  
     There is a strong emphasis on the social and behavioral dimensions of information technology and on the effective management of information resources.  The MIS program is an interdisciplinary program designed to give students the skills in information technologies in preparation for careers in such fields as systems analysis, information management, competitive intelligence and database management.  The MIS major emphasizes the human context of current and future technology.  The MIS major will fill a need that lies between the programmer who has a Computer Information Systems degree and the Business graduate.
