Students in the MIS program gain the skills necessary to analyze an organization's information needs and develop technological solutions to effectively solve business problems. In today's fast-paced, global environment, technology is a necessary and integral part of business.

Career opportunities include:
- Consulting

This is an excellent major for students who enjoy technology and want to apply their knowledge in a business environment.
