The School of Information Systems and Technology (SISTech) prepares students to excel
professionally and contribute meaningfully to the knowledge/information economy of
the 21st century. It is home to the Management Information Systems (MIS) Concentration
that combines business and technology–exactly what Silicon Valley is all about. That's
why our graduates regularly score some of the highest starting salaries among all
graduates from the college and get jobs at great places like Google, Cisco, HP, Apple,
and eBay.
This is MIS. A great career. Totally dynamic. Totally flexible. Totally cool.
Organizations depend on information to create value. MIS professionals bring technology
and business together to deliver information solutions that help organizations meet
their goals. And the career options in MIS are vast – some are on the technical side,
like database or network administrators, others are more people-oriented, like systems
analysts or project managers. Our MIS concentration will help you chart your own
path based on your interests and personal strengths and build a career you're passionate
about!
SISTech, one of six departments/schools in the College of Business, is home to over
550 students and 21 faculty focused on a single program–the MIS Concentration.
MIS students take the same core business courses as other business students so they
get a foundation in Marketing, Accounting, Finance, etc. But the MIS concentration
adds to that business foundation with fundamentals in tech subjects like Networking,
Database, and Python programming.
