Management Information Systems Overview
As of 5.1.23, the MIS program is no longer accepting applications. All currently enrolled students will progress through the program to completion. Students interested in this program should explore our applied data science program and our business majors.
The Management Information System (MIS) program prepares students to become critical thinkers and innovative designers of contemporary information systems. MIS students develop conceptual knowledge and hands-on skills in computing, relational databases, and web design. They become competent in recognizing opportunities to improve business processes or areas, communicate with stakeholders, and implement and manage information systems projects. In addition to skills and theories pertinent to management information systems, students benefit from Chatham’s unique commitment to addressing issues, such as sustainability, diversity, and responsible business in a global context.
[I learned] the real importance of studying information systems, computing, and data analytics while at Chatham. I have unlimited resources and professors willing to share their expertise and experiences. It does seem that no matter the career path I take, AI and information systems will be present in some form.
