Department of Management and Information Systems
Office: 302 McCool Hall
Students in the Department of Management and Information Systems may elect to major in either Management or Business Information Systems. Both majors offer excellent job opportunities and can help graduates to achieve their potential in business firms or other organizations.
Management Major (MGT)
Regardless of one’s chosen career, future responsibilities will very likely require a knowledge of management concepts. While an organization can acquire more capital, and technology becomes more common and cost-effective, the only true sustainable source of competitive advantage for an organization is people, and how these resources are managed. Management adds value by encouraging employee involvement, creativity, motivation and loyalty. A student may choose to take electives emphasizing human resource management, general management, and entrepreneurship.
Business Information Systems Major (BIS)
Business, industrial, governmental, and military establishments are constantly seeking persons with the necessary aptitude, professional education, and experience for careers in the fast-growing field of computer information systems. Through the facilities of the academic departments and the computing center, students at Mississippi State University have a unique opportunity to acquire both professional education and experience in business and management information systems.
The purpose of the Business Information Systems major is to prepare students to solve business problems where the solution normally involves the use of a computer. Thus, the student must have a strong foundation in computer concepts, systems analysis and design, programming and quantitative skills. Since the student will be expected to solve business related problems, he/she must have a broad background and understanding of the business environment including such topics as accounting, economics, law, management, production, marketing, finance, and communications.
A student chapter of the BIS club is active and provides students with the opportunity to keep abreast of current developments in the field of management information systems through professional speakers, social activities, and field trips.
