Are you interested in computer technology and business? Do you want to be a leader in one of the fastest growing professions in the world? Consider The University of Alabama's Management Information Systems (MIS) Program.

MIS is about applying information technology to solve business problems. Suppose an auto company wants to reduce car defects. By tracking customer warranty claims and complaints, the company can find out what problems most need fixing. An MIS professional and a production engineer will work together to figure out what information is needed and how it should be gathered. Notice that the focus is not on technology--it's on solving the problem. MIS professionals use information technology as a tool, not an end in itself.
