Program details

Overview

Management Information Systems and Analytics is a Bachelor of Commerce major at the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary's University. The program develops understanding of the five components of information systems: hardware, software, data, processes, and users, and of how computer technology applies to business problems. Students study core business functions alongside methods for organizing, managing, enhancing, and using computerized information resources and electronic data networks. The major combines technical information-systems content with a general Bachelor of Commerce foundation in areas such as accounting, marketing, finance, and management. The major suits students interested in the intersection of business operations and information technology, including systems analysis, database management, and data-driven decision-making. Graduates are prepared for roles in business analytics, information systems management, and related fields that require both business and technical literacy.
