The Business Information Systems minor (BIS Minor) focuses on how information systems are used to improve organizational performance and help employees be more efficient and effective through transforming business processes and automating tasks. The minor’s flexibility offers students the relevant biz-tech skill sets needed to match the rapidly evolving data and information system driven processes and decision making increasingly being leveraged in a vastly expanding wide range of disciplines and industries.
