The Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (MIS) program provides students with a combination of business, management and information technology preparation needed to succeed in today’s dynamic business environment. The program offers a comprehensive view that takes students through many of the core technologies and languages of computing. The student will learn by doing the very things that industry demands of its information technology professionals. Our notebook computer program for full-time students makes the resources that they need available on a 24-hour basis. Our commitment to using open source software ensures that part-time students will also have ready access to the tools they need to be successful.
The program provides the opportunity for students to focus their studies by selecting specialty course work in areas such as:
Computer Systems and Networking - networking, systems analysis, systems design, operating systems and security; and
Software Systems Development - advanced computer programming, mobile and web applications, business process analysis, software integration and implementation, database development and information technology product management.
Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes
Upon completing the program, graduates:
- Are prepared to excel in positions of responsibility and leadership in the computer-oriented, information and technology-based organizations of the future.
- Have a solid grounding in humanistic studies, an appreciation for cultural diversity and skills to work effectively with people.
- Possess the skills to achieve competitive advantage for business and service organizations through making effective and efficient use of information technology.
- Have a propensity to be lifelong learners, to track new information technology and assist in incorporating it into an organization’s strategic, planning and operational practices.
Upon completion of an integrated array of courses and application of technologies, students in the program:
- Understand and can apply the methodology and tools of quantitative analysis, and a systems approach to the application of knowledge and decision-making.
- Are prepared to lead business and industry in a global information and communication-dominated economy.
- Possess technical and managerial skills and capabilities in the gathering, analysis and communication of critical business information.

The degree is available to traditional full-time undergraduate students, and flexible plans of study are also available for working professionals. For those with an associate degree, the transfer plan grants junior standing to qualified individuals. Courses in the program can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis. Classes may be taken during the day or evening, with several options for blended-Internet study available each academic term.
