Of Information Systems
It
is hard to understand how Academia can stay
on top of the fastest changing segment of
business. Information Technology or Management
of Information Systems remains one of the
most promising fields in business, whose
place in school needs to be examined. After
all, by the time instructors make their
way to the classroom from their office;
the power of computing will double with
the price cut in half. According to Moore's
Law, coined by Gordon Moore, co-founder
of chipmaker Intel, this phenomenon takes
place every 18 months. Fine, maybe it takes
professors less time to make the journey,
but by the time they do make it to class,
you know someone, somewhere, just came up
with the next big thing.
In
any case, MIS is critical because it shows
students how to set up a solid, reliable
and rigid infrastructure upon which a business
can be built on. Glorious ideas have failed
because it was not feasible from an IT perspective
- either technically or financially (usually
both). The telecommunications industry is
rife with examples of this.
Other
Majors include:

And
of course, don't forget your electives.
