• How does  Management Information 系统 (MIS) fit into the College of 业务 at 菠菜网lol正规平台?

  • MIS "lives" in the space that intersects technology and business. We are housed in the College of 业务 where all undergraduates earn a BS in 业务 Administration. MIS is 一个 of the concentrations that students select within that degree, just like Finance, Accounting or Marketing, but MIS has its own school, the School of Information 系统 & Technology (SISTech), found in BT 250, just off the elevator lobby. 我们邀请 you to stop by and learn more.

  • Information 系统 professionals work as systems analysts, project managers, systems administrators, etc., communicating directly with staff and management across the organization. These challenging and stimulating jobs require interpersonal communication and business knowledge which mean they can't be as easily outsourced as pure technical jobs like computer programming. Information 系统 professionals are also in high 需求.

  • MIS students take all the same "core" business courses as any business major - intro to marketing, accounting, finance, etc. - but they also learn database, networking, systems analysis, application development, project management, etc. There's even a "practicum" course - that means you try out your skills and knowledge on a real project for a real sponsor such as the City of SJ Parks Department. There are also MIS electives in Big Data, digital innovation, web computing, and information security, to name 几.
