Management Information Systems (MIS) combines the areas of Business and Computers to educate individuals in the efficient handling of one of the most strategically important resources available to managers: information. MIS is the science of taking data, processing it, and transforming it into information that can be understood and used by the entire organization.

The courses in management information systems are designed to help decision makers understand how information technology can be used to improve management decisions. Since the MIS professional will be a manager, this requires not only good understanding of the technology, but also a familiarity with the various areas of business such as management, accounting, and operations.
