MIS Minor
An MIS minor requires MIS 301 plus 3 other MIS courses. Although the three can be any MIS courses (if you have the prerequisites) we recommend two popular MIS Minor paths – Analytical and Technical. See the suggested courses below.
|
Analytical Minor 3 required courses (in addition to MIS 301): |
The Analytical Minor
is composed of four
non-programming courses that
focus on IT problem solving in
the business world. MIS 325 is
also strongly recommended.
MIS 373 BUSINESS PROCESS
EXCELLENCE
Focuses on achieving operational
and strategic business excellence
with information technology (IT) in
support of a firm’s marketing and
sales, purchasing, and manufacturing
business processes. This requires a business
perspective on enterprise systems
and e-business technologies such as ERP, SCM, CRM, and EDI, their
business value and risk, and their
implementation. The students will
learn how to redesign complex business
processes and use IT modeling
tools and techniques.

MIS 373 DATA MINING
Data Miming refers to the
process of extracting useful
knowledge from data to support
decision making. Within the
masses of accumulated data lies
hidden knowledge and
organizations are using
innovative data mining methods
to locate and appeal to
higher-value customers,
customize their product
offerings to increase sales, or
minimize losses due to
erroneous decision-making or
fraud. Methods include classification trees, artificial neural
networks, genetic algorithms, and association rules discovery.
