Management Information Systems Concentration Why choose Information Systems? Major in Management Information Systems (MIS) if you enjoy technology and working with people. Our MIS majors are problem solvers and assist firms to be more competitive via the use of technology.
Typical careers for Information Systems graduates are: Systems analyst (design and implement new software applications) Web-based application developers Network administrators Software programmers Database administrators Information technology consultants End-user support and consultants Technical sales professionals MIS Graduate Statistics 75 to 80% of recent graduates are working in the IT field 10% of recent graduates have gone on to graduate school The process of developing information systems involves an array of people, from the end-users, to IS specialist such as system designers, database administrators, network administrators and programmers. The analysis and design is performed by the systems analyst, which requires a thorough understanding of the work and processes being supported. The systems analyst must communicate well with the end-user and other professionals. It is then the programmer's job to code the new system using various programming languages. Many new system applications are developed using databases and internet technologies. The MIS curriculum teaches students how to design and create highly effective and efficient databases. The curriculum also builds the skill set of the graduate on the newer programming techniques for web-based systems as well as a basic understanding of the technologies required to access applications across local and wide area networks.
