Program Description

Gaining Real World Experience

The Master's degree in Management Information Systems (MIS) is designed to prepare students for challenging careers in the application of IT to solve various business problems.

MIS professionals are the “communication bridges” between IT and the business community. They analyze, design, implement, and manage IT applications and strategies to help solve business problems. MIS students first learn business processes and then analyze how to improve the processes using IT.

MIS professionals secure positions in website design and development, consulting, security risk assessment, internet marketing, Sarbanes-Oxley audit control, business analysis, customer relationship management consulting, eCommerce, legal forensics, medical records automation, enterprise resource planning, and supply chain management.

Eller College MIS students are prepared for the future because they learn more than technical skills — they learn how to apply technical skills in support of business processes.

Internships are an integral part of the MS MIS program providing students with practical and in-depth knowledge of American business culture. This insight, coupled with the theory learned during classes, gives students firsthand experience in translating technical and business concepts to real world scenarios.
