Information Systems
In our connected world, problems are complicated and hard to solve. Whether it鈥檚 a government agency, private company or non-profit, modern organizations are complex webs of systems, structures, policies and people. It takes someone who can see both the details and the big picture to plot paths forward 鈥� these are exactly the skills and perspectives you鈥檒l develop in the Information Systems (IS) program. You鈥檒l draw on the university鈥檚 distinct strengths in technology, business, humanities and social sciences for a truly unique and well-rounded education. And ultimately, you鈥檒l create solutions that improve businesses, institutions and the collective social good.
