The BS in information systems and operations management (ISOM) prepares students for a range of career options by instilling skills that add value to organizations. Graduates will apply their knowledge of technology and business functions to design and improve existing operational and core business processes. They will integrate different business functions into seamless IT-enabled processes and collaborate with business users in defining requirements, identifying new IT-driven business opportunities, building prototypes to validate operations, and managing complex technology projects. The content of the ISOM major is at the intersection of technology, processes, and people. The MAIS is for students who seek a master’s degree that integrates knowledge from several disciplines. It addresses the rapidly evolving demand for unique graduate study by promoting advanced scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. Applicants must show a capacity for original thought in cross disciplinary research. There may be additional skills required of students applying to specific concentrations. Students will be admitted only if the program can assign to them a faculty advisor appropriate for the intended course of study. Students can pursue one of the following structured interdisciplinary concentrations: Community college teaching (in communication, English, information systems, math, Spanish, or TESL); Computational social science; Energy and sustainability; Film and video studies; Folklore studies; Higher education (administration or student affairs); Neuroethics; Religion, culture, and values ; Social entrepreneurship; Social justice and human rights; War and the military in society; Women and gender studies. Students also have the opportunity to design an individualized concentration to meet the special needs of their careers in Individualized studies. Highly qualified undergraduates in major may apply to the accelerated master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. If accepted, and depending on their undergraduate major, students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree in their major and a master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in energy and sustainability after satisfactory completion of 150 credits, sometimes within five years.
