Areas of Emphasis in MIS

The structure of the MIS program at the Center for Computer Studies reflects the requirements of the target jobs at the strategic, middle and operational levels in the MIS area. There are four critical areas of emphasis in this program:

1 . There is a balanced mix of business and computer oriented courses. MIS graduates would be technically confident in both business and technology areas, as well as in the application of technology in business. This would facilitate their career growth as they move from technology intensive jobs to business intensive jobs.

2. Business courses in this program have a computer orientation. Computer related courses have a business orientation. This would helps MIS graduates act as a bridge between the two worlds; world of information technology and world of business. The courses are appropriately taught by faculty qualified and experienced in both the technology and business areas.

3. More courses are designed around projects. At least one course in each semester is designed around a heavy duty implementation project. This helps MIS graduates in IT project management jobs at the higher levels.

4. Exposure of actual business processes and strategic uses of IT through internships and implementation projects undertaken for a business organization during successive semesters. This prepares MIS graduates for the real world.
