MBA CONCENTRATION

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Management Information Systems (MIS) Concentration is designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge of business and economic environments and of all major business functions which information systems are developed to support.  Completing this concentration will help students develop skills considered vital to successful technology implementation and dissemination, and develop mastery of basic and advanced information systems approaches, methods and techniques and their application in various business situations.

The degree program is designed for students either with or without previous coursework or experience in management information systems.

Two characteristics make the MIS Concentration unique: flexibility and technological currency.

Flexibility is achieved by program requirements that vary from student to student, and are determined personally for each degree candidate depending on experience, previous education, and preferred career path.

Technological currency is achieved through close interaction with practice, and DePaul's traditional responsiveness to student and industry needs.
