The Management/MIS department offers concentrations in three business disciplines: management; management information systems (MIS); and international business.

CONCENTRATION IN MANAGEMENT

The management concentration allows ample flexibility, from an individual career viewpoint, for students to obtain foundation knowledge and skills that are suitable for operating a small business or advancing into a wide variety of middle and upper level management positions within corporations and not-for-profit organizations.The concentration also helps students prepare for graduate study in business and law. By highlighting successful organizational processes and practices, this concentration helps students understand a wide variety of managerial concerns as well as analytical and administrative techniques commonly used to address them.

CONCENTRATION IN MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MIS)

The MIS concentration helps to prepare students for positions that support and satisfy organizations' information needs, through design and development of information systems for use in managerial monitoring and decision making processes. Emphasis is placed on the role of a "business systems analyst" who develops information system specifications and works closely with computer programmers to make appropriate use of computers in business. The focus is on processing transactions and using information linked to administrative systems. Topics within operations management are highlighted.

CONCENTRATION IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

The B.S. degree in business administration has a concentration in international business that is designed to provide students with a global perspective.
