Why Minor in
Information Systems?
•
Information Systems (IS) is the use of computers and information to
enable people and organizations to be more creative and productive
and it develops skills in:
1.
2.
3.
–
•
identifying the needs of an individual or organization,
designing and develop systems to meet those requirements, and
rolling out these systems to solve real-world problems.
You would learn how to apply the latest technology to improve the
delivery of products and services while insuring that the systems are
secure.
Information Systems is distinct from computer science (a
department in the College of Arts & Sciences) in that it is much
more business-oriented.
– Computer scientists focus more on computer hardware, computer
languages, and operating and specialized systems software.

How would an Information Systems
Minor complement your Major?
• For majors in political science, information systems are important
tools for conducting public opinion polls, electronic voting, and
providing access to information and services (i.e., e-government).
• Bioinformatics is a hot new area that combines molecular biology
with computer information systems. This is an exciting area in which
computer information technology is being used to develop new
drugs to treat, cure and prevent human disease.
• For communications majors, digital media and related technologies
are revolutionizing print, video, and web-based communications.
• For majors in music or art & design, information systems are
opening up new avenues of expression and have become essential
in design work.
• For education major, a basic knowledge of information systems is
essential for teaching computer literacy in the classroom and for
delivery of instructional materials.

Who are some of the faculty
from whom you would be learning?
• Dr. Peter Meso teaches
information systems analysis,
design, and web applications.
Using a hands-on approach
to instruction, he delights in
working with students to find
information technology
solutions for real business
problems. In his current
classes, for instance,
students are experimenting
with new Web technologies to
build exciting web-based
applications.
Who are some of the faculty
from whom you would be learning?
• Dr. Upkar Varshney specializes
in mobile computing and
wireless networks that have
become critical to day-to-day
life. He brings a high level of
energy and enthusiasm to his
classes and has received
numerous teaching awards. He
is widely known for his
research in wireless and
mobile networks, and has
some of the most heavily
downloaded papers in the field.
Who are some of the faculty
from whom you would be learning?
• Dr. William Robinson gets
excellent reviews from his
students in requirements
analysis and software
quality management. Bill is
an outstanding teacher who
is on the vanguard of
technology. He has written
over 40 academic articles
and recently received a
prestigious National
Science Foundation
research grant.
Who are some of the faculty
from whom you would be learning?
Dr. Veda Storey teaches students how to create and
manage the databases that are so vital to businesses
