Bachelor of Business Administration in Management for Information Systems

It's no secret that today's businesses use computers. They might use them in straightforward ways, managing documents and data, or they might be marketing quantum computers. Yet many schools teach business courses as if today's workplace still relied upon telegrams and vacuum tubes.

But DSU gets it. You need business fundamentals married to a capable command of technology, and that's true whether you're thinking about a straightforward business degree, accounting, marketing, management, or finance courses. With our degree, you will learn those important, traditional business skills, but you will also be able to write your own computer programs to help your business grow. You'll be able to maintain entire information systems.

You'll be able to make connections and practice your skills in an internship at leading business in the state and region. And even as an undergraduate, you'll be able to participate in real research opportunities, because DSU's College of Business happens to be home to both the Center of Excellence in Computer Information Systems and the Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance.

Hear that sound? That's the sound of a thousand employers raising their eyebrows, all at once. Better get used to it.
