Management Information Systems

"I had strong interests in computer and how business worked," says Adam. "With a major in management information systems, I'm able to focus on both areas and understand the application of computers and technology within a business setting."

With the help of his professors, Adam feels he's gained a strong foundation for his education and career.

"You truly get to know your teachers. And my faculty adviser helped me navigate through my college career, making sure I graduated on time and giving me advice on ways to use my degree."

Adam believes that if a student is having trouble deciding between a computer science degree and a pure management and business-related degree, he ought to consider management information systems. "It's a great blend and may be just what they're looking for."
