This certificate program equips working professionals and students without an MIS background with specialized coursework in information technology applications. IT serves as a crucial competitive differentiator across numerous products and services. Earning an MIS certificate deepens a student's comprehension of technology's strategic importance and its effective management as a key organizational asset. Participants must maintain satisfactory academic progress, earn at least a B in all certificate courses, and finish all requirements within six years. Only NIU coursework qualifies for the certificate. With departmental approval, certificate courses may count toward graduate degree requirements. All courses have Phase One prerequisites that fall outside the certificate program's scope.
