Management Information Systems

The MIS field deals with all the information and problem solving activity of a modern, successful organization. The MIS discipline brings together the various business areas and computer science. This program provides the theory and methodology to analyze, design, implement and manage an organization's information technology and systems. Visit udmis.info to learn more about the MIS field.

MIS also makes an excellent companion to another major, almost any other business and many non-business majors.

An individual minoring in MIS might serve as a liaison from a functional area (e.g., marketing or accounting) to MIS on systems development projects, or may be a member of the systems development team representing the interests of the functional area. Other minors simply want to be "power users" of information technology.
