School of Accounting and Information Systems
The School of Accounting & Information Systems recognizes the roles that accounting and information systems have in corporate, governmental, and nonprofit organizations. Management Information Systems (MIS) address socio-technical issues related to managing and delivering technology-based solutions to support organizational processes, decision-making, and products and services.
MIS professionals apply technology to integrate and support business functions (e.g., accounting, finance, marketing, production, and management). Since technology is Integral in MIS, accountants are required to be knowledgeable of MIS and its internal control environment as well as its use in recording, summarizing, and reporting financial transactions to investors, lenders, employees and regulators.
The graduate programs and online management accounting and analytics program are STEM-designated degrees.
