MSIS is really it's a perfect combination of business and IT you get a really good, valuable mix of understanding. The business needs the business components out in the real world as well as the technologies that drive it. If you look at a lot of the technology classes that are provided for undergrads, they can oftentimes be very technical. MSIS does a great job at taking a step backward and looking at a higher level at how I.T.

Organizations operate. I truly believe that it offers you a leg up at the core of the MSIS highest degree. It's problem solving and consulting. Problem solving is the single greatest skill that you can have. The frameworks and MSIS presented I still use on a daily basis in my job at KPMG. The reason that a company like G.E. comes continuously to Kelley and looks for MSIS degrees in particular is they have a very clear understanding of yes technology, but MSIS also teaches the business aspects of it.

And that's the why. And you can build all day. But if you're not building for a purpose, why does it matter? The real value is the breadth of MSIS You don't necessarily have to go deep in each of those components because that's what the industry teaches you. That's what businesses teach you. But having a breadth allows you to connect those pieces in a way that somebody with just a standard undergraduate degree is not necessarily going to have the capability of doing.

Those who succeed will be the people who are able to take very technical concepts and abstract those into implications for an IT organization. People with MSIS degrees understand how IT organizations work and they understand how those technologies can be leveraged to create business value moving forward.
