2 The BBA in MIS

Information technology (IT) is the engine that drives business today. The professional of the future must understand how IT can solve business problems and create innovative solutions. The Fox BBA in MIS will train you to identify, evaluate, build, and acquire innovative IT solutions. You will learn how to:

• Apply IT to automate and improve business tasks (e.g., airline reservation systems)
• Transform a business with IT (e.g., website to reach new customers)
• Manage the systems for an organization (e.g., select a new email system)

The program prepares MIS students to perform, and eventually lead, analysis, integration, and technology management activities, using state-of-the-art web-based tools and methodologies. MIS students will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze and understand business problems and apply information technology to transform business and innovate.
