The digital revolution is driving radical change to businesses. Those who understand how to use information technology to drive sustained competitive advantage are well–positioned for exciting and fruitful careers.

The MIS program equips students with the tools for "leading IT-enabled change in organizations." MIS students typically find careers as consultants — either external consultants with one of the Big Four consulting firms or internal consultants known as "business analysts." The Terry MIS program provides the foundation for students to go in a technical direction (such as a programmer or database administrator), a non-technical direction (such as a business process analyst or project manager), or somewhere in the middle (such as a business intelligence or IT risk & security specialist).

MIS students have some of the highest placement, internship, starting salary, and job satisfaction rates. The Terry MIS program is ranked among the top 15 in the U.S., and the faculty is world-reknown. MIS is a hands-on major which equips students with real-world skills that are in demand in the job market.
