A minor in MIS provides undergraduate students the ability to specify, select, use, and apply information technology (IT) to their major field of study. The minor provides the skills and terminology needed to become an expert user of IT in the business world.
I choose the MIS minor because Accounting is becoming more integrated with information systems. We are in the “Age of Information” and it makes sense to have informatics under your belt. The best part of MIS is the bonding between professors and students.

WHO SHOULD MINOR IN MIS?
Business students will benefit from a minor in MIS. The minor in MIS will position you for jobs in business application areas, consulting positions, technical liaisons, and selling and acquisition of business software.
I chose MIS as a minor because of the increasing shift to technology in the marketing field, I believe that a minor in MIS is the best way to differentiate myself from other marketing majors

WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?
- Understand the key information technologies used by organizations.
- Learn how to specify technology solutions and engage with IT professionals.
- 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.
Without a minor in MIS, I would have not even received the interview.
