Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Information Systems

The Information Systems (IS) major prepares students to be effective planners, users and managers of information technologies and systems in technology-enabled business firms. The IS major focuses on system design and implementation skills including database and web design. It also builds analytical skills for both strategic planning of IT and performance evaluation, and the managerial and organizational knowledge required to manage information systems and applications based on business and customer requirements. Like all Smith School of Business majors, IS majors obtain a broad grounding in the key functional areas of business including marketing, operations, accounting and finance. These core concepts provide an excellent foundation to ground the IS major's key concepts of systems analysis and design and the strategic use of information systems.
