The business information systems management minor (BIS
management minor) focuses on how information systems are
used to improve organizational performance and transform
basic business structures appropriately. The minor is
designed to develop and enhance skill sets needed for
current or future careers across discipline fields and
industries. The flexibility in the BIS minor enables students to acquire
information systems skills most relevant to their career paths, major programs of study, or secondary areas of interest.
Upon completion of the minor, a student will be able to analyze, design, and manage information systems and associated processes in a wide
variety of organizations. This minor provides students with valuable skills and knowledge in the management of information systems
resources, which constitute up to a third of the total assets of businesses and organizations today. The
BIS minor requires 18 credits and is
suitable for any Eastern student, including transfer and non-traditional students. At least four of the courses below should be taken at
Eastern.
BIS minor allows flexible combinations that complement many majors providing
great job opportunities.
The BIS Minor is designed to incorporate a variety of BIS elective courses to select from that will provide the matching complementary
information systems and technology skills for several majors (i.e. Accounting, Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science,
Digital Art, Economics, and more) and discipline concentrations
(i.e. Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations
Management).
