Management Information Systems Minor

With the growth in the online economy and the increasing use of data by traditional companies, the demand for business analysts, data analysts, and information systems professionals is dramatically expanding. The MIS minor offers students a focused set of courses that provide foundational knowledge and skills in management information systems. The focus is on using information systems to create solutions to business problems. The minor is intended for students who could benefit from a deeper understanding of MIS as it relates to their major or concentration. Being able to apply information systems solutions in their chosen career will make students more marketable/attractive to employers in an increasingly digital economy. The MIS minor offers a useful and attractive option for both business and non-business students. The minor is not intended for Information Technology majors, Computer Science majors, or Management Information Systems concentration students in the School of Business.

Policies

At least eight credits must be unique to the minor and not applied toward any other major, minor, or concentration. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in each course that is applied toward the minor.

For policies governing all minors, see AP.5.3.4 Minors. The School of Business residency requirement for this minor supersedes the university requirement: at least nine credits must be earned at Mason.
