A focus on information systems equips students with the skills to excel in today's digital landscape. The Carlson School ranks among the nation's top five for information systems (U.S. News & World Report, 2016). This concentration helps students understand the transformative, sometimes disruptive role of information and communication technologies in business and society. Participants will develop expertise in using IT to build streamlined organizations with unified data and standardized operations. The program also readies students for compliance-heavy, security-focused settings resulting from IT's deep integration with financial and accounting systems. Moreover, students will master strategies for driving innovation, generating revenue growth, and creating competitive advantages through data analytics, social media engagement for customer relationships, and effective global IT sourcing strategies.
