IT Concentration: Management Information Systems

For those entering the program Fall 2005 semester & beyond

Contact Person: Jeffery Durgee

Description:
The Management Information Systems concentration prepares you for careers in information systems analysis and programming, design, management, and consulting.

Beyond the Information Technology curriculum and the management core, the student will cover such topics as systems analysis, telecommunications, database design, and computer programming.

The capstone course will closely integrate the IT and MIS course experiences in an extended application, possibly with a large local company.

**See H&SS requirements

MIS NOTE
A student in the MIS concentration may take either MGMT-4150 IT Project Management or ITEC-4100 ITEC Capstone Experience to satisfy the IT Capstone requirement. If MGMT-4150 is taken to satisfy the capstone requirement, then this course must be replaced in the MIS concentration with another course. The following courses have been pre-approved as replacement courses are:

MGMT-4160 Telecommunications for Business
MGMT-4550 Business Models for Digital Enterprises 

All other substitutions must be approved by Prof. Jeffery Durgee

Please be aware that the ITEC 4100 - IT Capstone fulfills your writing requirement, MGMT-4150 IT Project Management does not.
