| The Faculty of Commerce and Business
Administration has an MIS Option
which is intended to provide students with the
necessary knowledge and skills to employ IT in
business. MIS Option courses can be combined with
other areas such as accounting, finance, human
resources or marketing. Alternatively, for
students who are interested in acquiring a deeper
technical knowledge, MIS Option courses can be
combined with Computer Science courses. This
leads to several possibilities: 1) If you are
in any other Commerce option, you can select
electives from the MIS option courses. This will
enable you to become well-informed in the
application of IT in business.
2) If you are in the MIS option, you can
select electives from other Commerce options.
This can prepare you for a career as a specialist
in the application of information technology in
one or more functional areas (e.g., financial
information systems or human resources
information systems). However, be aware that you
may end-up with very little actual computer
skills. If this is a concern, we recommend you
consider taking some Computer Science courses. A
list of recommended
courses is attached.
3) If you are interested mainly in an
information technology career, you can take most
of your electives from Computer Science. A list
of recommended courses
is attached.
Of course, some combination of (2) and (3) is
possible.
Whichever route you choose, remember, you
still have a general business education.
