MIS Minor

A minor in MIS provides undergraduate students the ability to identify, select, use, and apply information technology (IT) to their major field of study. The minor provides the skills and terminology needed to become a knowledgable user of IT in the business world and interact successfully with technology professionals in an organization.

I chose MIS as minor because we live in such a data-driven world, and in the accounting profession it is so important to know how obtain, analyze, and present data to deliver value to clients. A minor in MIS helped me differentiate myself and helped me improve my communication skills.
Louis Rosetti, Accounting major, MIS minor

  • Understand the importance of business processes
  • Identify how specific IT solutions are designed and implemented to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Apply data analytics to collect, store, analyze, and disseminate organizational information.

MurphyThe MIS community is incredibly supportive. Whether you’re a major or minor in this program you will receive the same encouragement. I knew I wanted to become an MIS minor when introduced to cloud computing through Salesforce. This topic ignited a world of opportunities through a new passion!
