Management Information Systems (MIS) is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses both business and information technology. Innovations in information systems are advancing rapidly, and in this digital era, the success of businesses largely depends on the efficient and effective use of information systems and technologies. The integration of digital systems into daily life and various management processes within organizations necessitates keeping these technological infrastructures up to date. Evaluating these infrastructures and selecting the most suitable ones for existing or designed systems is a critical step. The effective management of these stages is only possible with specialized managers in the field. Decision-makers aim to access accurate information quickly and analyze it effectively during decision-making processes. This requires decision support systems, which form the core of the MIS field by focusing on their design, implementation, and control.
Objective
With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, decision support systems are evolving rapidly. To keep up with this change, the business world requires personnel who are proficient in IT and technology infrastructure and possess system analysis skills. Especially in recent years, the demand for such expertise has significantly increased. In this context, it is crucial for graduates in this field to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. To achieve this, the curriculum of the MIS program is designed to include the most up-to-date courses in business, management, and IT fields. These courses are delivered by industry-experienced academics with practical examples and hands-on applications. Students have the opportunity to take courses such as Introduction to MIS, Entrepreneurship, Introduction to Algorithms and Programming, Web Design, Object-Oriented Programming, Cyber Law, Information Security and Ethics, Project Management, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Arduino Programming, Human-Computer Interaction, Strategic Management, E-Business, Data Mining, General Accounting, General Management, and Systems Analysis and Design. Additionally, the program includes an "Internship Course" to help students apply the theoretical knowledge gained in class to practical experience in relevant industries.
Employment Opportunities
Students have the opportunity to specialize in their preferred fields based on the interdisciplinary courses, knowledge, and skills they acquire during the program. The MIS curriculum spans four years and is designed around business, management, and IT courses, focusing on applying IT concepts to support management decisions. Therefore, MIS graduates can pursue careers in both IT and management-related professions, planning their careers as "IT Managers." Leveraging their education, graduates integrate IT with business processes to efficiently and effectively provide management with the necessary information. Graduates can work in public and private sectors under the following titles:
