Management Information Systems Major
An information system combines people, technology and processes to achieve business goals.
Management Information Systems professionals help meet business goals by forming a bridge between non-technical, business professionals and technical professionals, such as those from computer science and computer information systems. In bridging the knowledge and communication gap between these two groups, they seek to create innovative technology-driven solutions that ensure business success.
Management Information Systems is a STEM field with a strong business focus. UNI's program will give you the practical experience, technical knowledge, and interpersonal skills needed to develop simple to complex information systems as well as speak both the language of business and the language of IT professionals.
