These skills are practiced and polished in a network environment that encourages the collaborative problem-solving approaches being used in modern organizations.

The Management Information Systems Concentration is designed to prepare the student for organizational roles involving the design, development and administration of information systems. Typical positions for graduates include systems analyst, programmer, network administrator, database administrator, process analyst, computer consultant and computer applications support specialist.

Regardless of concentration, the Information Systems degree requires students to take INFS 205 (Introduction to Productivity Applications), INFS 315 (Introduction to Web Design), and INFS 361 (Network Administration). The Information Systems major does not require a minor.
