Information systems are extremely important to every organization and are critical to both strategic and day-to-day decision making.

This means that graduates who can lead teams and projects that integrate information systems into business processes are in high demand.
This minor is designed to help students in any discipline understand the core concepts in information systems and how they are used in virtually every public or private organization, and in any discipline. This program does not require any detailed knowledge of computing or information technology, nor is extensive computer programming required. Students in both the Sciences and Humanities are encouraged to pursue this minor.
