Management Information Systems

About the Concentration

The Management Information Systems (MIS) concentration prepares students for many opportunities in the information technology field and business. These inlude careers as managers of computer service units, or applications staff members supporting computer-using organizations. Aimed at producing graduates who bridge the gap between technical knowledge and business functions, the program focuses on a mix of applied computer systems content, interpersonal interaction, and a practical business orientation.

While administered by the Department of Management, the concentration in management information systems is interdisciplinary in nature. The courses may be taken by students in other colleges and departments who wish to complement other computer-related studies with business-oriented information systems subjects.

Drexel is a particularly exciting place to pursue any computer-oriented major. Drexel made history as the first university in the nation to require every student to have access to a personal computer. Today, Drexel’s leadership continues with academic software development and major investments in the information infrastructure. Drexel University is a campus where computers are an integral part of all education, not just computer courses.
