Why study MIS?
Between business and technology
As your first year draws to a close, you'll take an important professional step and declare a concentration in at least one of our principal fields of business. Study database management, telecommunications, system analysis and design with a concentration in management information systems. In this concentration, you'll also explore other IT topics, such as digital multimedia, electronic business and knowledge management.
That puts you on a rock-solid path for a wide range of careers, including business/systems analyst, database designer and administrator, webmaster, software help-desk expert, project specialist, consultant, network administrator, and IT specialist within other departments, such as financial services, accounting, marketing, or manufacturing. Learn how to use the powerful resource of information to its greatest advantage. Develop the cutting-edge technical and problem-solving skills that are in high demand by employers.

After taking the MIS introduction class with Professor Dedeke I was hooked. I loved how MIS incorporated technology and business. The demand for the degree in the workforce is high.

Technology is ever changing so it is difficult for any institution to truly prepare its students for real-world applications of concepts. But D'Amore McKim provided a solid foundation which I leveraged in order to be successful in my co-ops.
