BA/BS in Management Information Systems and Services

The TISA major (information systems, technology and analytics) at Wayne State's Mike Ilitch School of Business focuses on managing and using technology for strategic decisions. It stresses hands-on technical practice with relevant software and prepares students for organizations that want technology-savvy staff. Students may choose between a B.A. and a B.S. Foundation and core courses examine computer-based information systems, with topics such as artificial intelligence, electronic data interchange and multimedia. The wider course range includes application systems, mining of data, designing and developing systems and data communications. Students who prefer applied, software-based learning to purely theoretical study may find it a good fit. The school also helps students find internships and personalized opportunities to gain experience before graduating. The major may appeal to those who want a business degree with a strong technology emphasis.
