BBA in Information Systems

Much of a professional or manager's time is devoted to solving problems of one kind or another. Most of the problems encountered are unstructured, and a growing number pertain to the use of information technology (IT). A thorough grounding in the issues that surround IT is, therefore, vital to the survival of a modern business or businessperson. Courses in the Information Systems concentration analyze methods for tackling unstructured problems of all kinds, and provide specific guidance about commonly encountered types of problem-for instance, problems originating in the external environment, in the internal environment, in individual cognitive styles, and in knowledgebased systems. Some of the topics addressed in this concentration are the use of modern information technology by organizations, strategic use of information technology, planning and management of information systems, and the role of the Internet/Intranet.
