Management Information Systems, B.S.B.A.

Program Overview

A Management Information Systems degree from the Belk College of Business prepares you to understand the function of information technologies and systems in business organizations, and it provides the knowledge and skills you will need when you analyze, design, develop and manage information systems.

All businesses use management information systems to make forecasts, manage day-to-day operations, schedule personnel and equipment, manage quality and inventory, work with suppliers, and undertake projects. In addition, management depends on information systems to collect and analyze data to make decisions.  Data on customers, suppliers, competitors, and others are the main inputs to decision making at all levels of the organization.  While all organizations have information systems needs, some industries have much greater reliance on them: banking, insurance, large-scale retailing and communications.

Skills for Management Information Systems majors include:

  • Analytical problem solving
  • Business process skills
  • Communication skills
  • Information technology skills
  • Organizational skills
