The BBA Major in Management Information Systems (MIS) is an undergraduate degree designed to train business-oriented, technically proficient information and e-business/ecommerce systems professionals. MIS students will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze and understand business problems and apply information technology to help solve these problems, including the opportunities and issues raised by the new information-based economy and electronic commerce. Students will learn how to analyze client needs, define systems to meet these needs, develop applications, manage operations, and act as technical intermediaries between management and other technical staff.

Typical career options for MIS students graduating with the BBA in MIS include systems analyst, application/software/web-site developer, consultant, and systems manager. All FSBM Management Information System majors are encouraged to join the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). The organization allows students to keep up to date on new technology and explore the career opportunities available for the major. For more information, visit http://acm.temple.edu.
