The B.B.A. Major in Management Information Systems (MIS) is a full-time program to train business-savvy, technically-proficient entry-level professionals. The MIS major is organized around the concept of Integration; organizational systems such as for payroll, customer relationship management, and enterprise resource management tie an organization together, and understanding how these systems integrate business processes and technology is essential to a successful career. Specifically, MIS majors will integrate business processes with MIS solutions by modeling and changing business processes, selecting the best information technology solution, and acquiring the solution by building, integrating, or purchasing systems. Graduates will understand how to integrate information systems vertically within the organization and across as well as how to solve application integration problems.
Typical career options for MIS students graduating with the B.B.A. in MIS include systems/business analyst, MIS Consultant, application developer, information systems manager, web developer, project manager, systems architect, database administrator. All FSBM Management Information System majors are encouraged to join the Association of Management Information Systems (AMIS) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM).
