Undergraduate Programs

Management Information Systems

Innovation at Work.

At its core, our Management Information Systems program is about helping people work smarter through technology. We study the interaction of technology with people and business processes.

Through hands-on experience both in the classroom and in real-world settings, students gain an understanding of how businesses use technology to solve problems and create new business opportunities, as well as how to anticipate and utilize future technology.

MIS vs. Computer Science

Computer Science focuses on the internal workings of technology and on improving technology itself. MIS focuses on how people, business processes, and technology interact to meet an organization's goals. Computer Science answers the question, "How can we make technology work better?" MIS answers the question, "How can we help people work smarter using technology?"

MIS Careers

MIS majors help organizations use technology to solve problems and create new business opportunities. Butler graduates have held positions as client application specialists, IT system analysts, assurance associates and more. They have been hired by organizations including Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Liberty Mutual, Fifth Third Bank, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
