Certificates of Undergraduate Study
Information Systems (9)
Coordinator: Steven Kispert, Department of Operations Management and Information Systems
This certificate is designed to provide non-OM&IS students with a set of courses focused on information
systems and technology. Organizations depend on information technology to achieve competitive
advantage. A certificate in information systems will allow students to understand how the application of
information technology can improve business processes.
Students must maintain good academic standing within the university, achieve a minimum grade of a C in
each course applied toward the certificate, and complete all certificate course work within a period of four
calendar years. Only courses taken at NIU may be applied toward the certificate. Courses used to satisfy
the requirements for the certificate may only be applied toward an undergraduate degree with approval of
the major department. Some courses may have prerequisites that are not part of the certificate curriculum.
Students interested in the certificate should apply no later than the beginning of their final semester prior to
graduation, but they are urged to apply as soon as they complete UBUS 310 so the coordinator may advise
students regarding course scheduling. Applications are available in the Department of Operations
Management and Information Systems.
