The information systems curriculum prepares students to manage an organization's information resources. The option focuses on: 1) analyzing and managing the flows of information within and across the organization's business processes; 2) effectively managing the acquisition and utilization of information technology; and 3) using both information and technology to enhance the organization's strategic advantage.  Information systems are a part of all organizational functions, including accounting, finance, marketing, operations, and human resource management.

Employment opportunities are strong in Information Systems.  Our IS students get foundation preparation for a variety of jobs, such as systems analyst, programmer, database administrator, web developer, and network administrator.
