About the Department of Management Information Systems (MIS)
What is MIS?
MIS is the study of people, technology and organizations. All you need is desire to
utilize the latest technological trends to generate better business and improve people’s
lives.
If you’re a crossword savant or an escape room enthusiast, you should consider a MIS
degree. The top performers in the field are those who are able to thrive under pressure,
discover inconspicuous solutions, lead collaborative teams and deal with the abstract.
The skills learned with a MIS degree are applicable in every industry. Everyone who
works in business – from the person who pays the bills to the person who hires and
fires – uses information systems.
What Will You Learn?
Students majoring in MIS are prepared for careers in business information security; business intelligence, marketing and data analytics; project management; systems testing; database management; and systems analysis and design. Furthermore, these careers may be in nearly any field – from the business sector to nonprofits – including fields such the arts, healthcare, education, service, manufacturing, logistics, finance and government.
Tech and gadget enthusiasts, artists, thinkers, dreamers and realists can all become MIS professionals who make an impact in their field.
