Information Systems

Information systems are important for day-to-day operations as well as strategic management of businesses. Information systems management involves analysis, design, implementation, and operation of computer-based information systems, which is becoming increasingly important to leading enterprises in innovative ways.

Our undergraduate major/co-major and graduate programs—with a blended business-technology curriculum—focus on multiple facets of information systems management: IT strategy and management, enterprise process management, enterprise data management, IT infrastructure management, and application development. 

The information systems (IS) major focuses on information technology (IT) and process issues for operating and managing large, distributed global businesses: integrating business with systems, designing processes as well as the associated data, managing the IT infrastructure, and developing business applications.
