THE DISCIPLINE: Information Systems involves
two broad areas: (1) an organization’s information
systems function–acquisition, deployment, and
management of information technology resources
and services; and (2) system
development,–development and evolution of
technology infrastructures and systems for use in
organization processes. Information systems
professionals provide services ranging from the
managerial to the highly technical. Information
systems and technology skills are critical to the
success of virtually all modern organizations,
including small business, corporations,
government, and educational institutions.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Information systems
graduates work in large and small organizations of
all types, helping maintain existing technology
infrastructure and specifying technology solutions
to business needs. Often, they serve as the bridge
between an organization’s technical personnel and
its business side. Challenging career opportunities
are found in consulting firms, large corporations,
government agencies, and smaller entrepreneurial
concerns.
BS Information Systems, CONCURRENT WITH
MISM: The first year of the SOAIS program must
be completed with a minimum 3.0 GPA to be
eligible to apply for continuation into the Master of
Information Systems Management Program.
The undergraduate fourth year (Integrated
Management Core plus ISys 490 and 499, P Mgt
385, MCom 321) is replaced by the Marriott School
of Management graduate core plus MBA 581, Acc
657, P Mgt 582, and M Com 642. Students
planning to pursue a Master of Information
Systems Management degree should not take the
above noted classes.
PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Acceptance into the SOAIS is limited to fall
semester only, with one application deadline: last
working day of June. Application is on-line and
further information is available at the Marriott
School of Management Undergraduate Programs
Office. Acceptance is competitive, with a
maximum of 180 students accepted each year.
Not all students who meet minimum application
requirements are guaranteed entry.
The following application requirements apply:
1. Have concurrent or prior acceptance to the
Marriott School of Management.
2. Earn B grade (minimum) in ISys 201 and 202;
have 3.0 minimum average GPA in Econ 110,
Stat 221, Math 119 and Acc 200.
Note 1: If a student must leave the program for a
mission, internship, or other reason, a leave of
absence request form is required. A prompt return
to the program is required. Students who have
interrupted their SOAIS education for more than
two years without prior approval will be required to
meet the requirements of the program in effect at
reacceptance.
Note 2: Upper-division information systems class
credits earned prior to five years before graduation
may not be used to meet specific graduation
requirements for the BS degree. This policy does
not affect the recognition of those hours earned to
satisfy total university credit.
Apply for admission into the MSM.
*Note: The sequence of courses suggested may not fit the circumstances of every student. Students should contact
their advisement center for help in outlining an efficient schedule.
^
Note: Probable availability. Please check with departments for current availability of all courses.
Note: This major requires a minimum of 123 hours for graduation. Students are encouraged to complete an average of
15–16 credit hours each semester or 30–31 credit hours each year, which could include spring and/or summer terms.
Taking fewer credits substantially increases the cost and the number of semesters to graduate.
