Management Information Systems

Digital enterprises have created a strong demand for individuals who understand business practices, functional disciplines and computer applications. The MIS program meets this demand by providing students with the educational background to articulate the economic value and the strategic role of IT and to develop and implement large-scale information systems.

The MIS program is one of the most highly respected programs in the country. Currently, the MIS program is ranked number three in the nation in the U.S. News and World report. As electronic business (e-business) transformation and rapid technological innovations continue to pervade the business environment, BBA-MIS students are prepared to face challenges to cope with new information technologies and business methods.

Our curriculum is motivated and structured to incorporate four essential components that are critical for future MIS careers - (1) managerial skills (e.g., communication skills, project management, group work); (2) business/MIS theory and concepts (e.g., database management, structured programming, object technology, networking, strategic IT management, systems analysis and design, electronic business, wireless); (3) IT architecture and infrastructure (e.g., object technology, distributed computing framework, wireless infrastructure); (4) and software and programming language skills (e.g., Access, Oracle, MS SQL Server, SQL, Java, Visual Basic, JavaScript, XML). Students graduate with strong analytical, conceptual and hands-on skills who immediately become members of a highly productivity workforce. They understand rapidly developing hardware and software capabilities and have the managerial talent needed to implement strategic information systems (e.g., customer and supplier relationship management, enterprise resource planning), and other web-based and non-web custom solutions.
