Management Information Systems (MIS)

In today's business climate, the technological challenges of providing reliable, accurate, and timely information to managers within an organization, who use this information to make strategic decisions, is the responsibility of the MIS specialist.  The MIS specialist must acquire the knowledge of organizational funtions and the technical expertise to support any organization's strategies, goals, and objectives.  As a result, the Walsh Business program recognizes MIS as a discipline that provides the knowledge and the skills to meet the growing dependency of the business sector on technology.  The MIS major achieves this objective by providing the students with the ability to tailor their individual needs through a combination of the business curriculum, MIS curriculum, and internships.  The MIS program offers students an opportunity to gain a competetive advantage, while being able to enhance an organization's effectiveness and allows the organization to better utilize the rapid advancements in technology to compete in the intense global complex business environment.
