As businesses march into the future, it’s the firms that build competitive strength at the intersection of technology and business competencies that will have the edge. Leading the way are a new breed of managers that help companies navigate the effective and strategic use of technology.

Franklin University’s Management Information Sciences (MIS) Major equips you to understand technology and harness that knowledge to help businesses gain competitive advantage. And, through Franklin’s MIS Degree Program, you’ll be ready for your own advantage: a career in one of the fast-growing industries of the next decade.

Leverage technology to deliver game changing solutions

Our MIS curriculum imparts the business savvy to understand the how and why of business operations, the technical depth to identify innovative uses of information systems, and the communication skills to mobilize cross-functional teams toward the implementation of game changing solutions.

That’s why our coursework focuses on these key areas: requirements definition, business analysis, systems analysis, process re-engineering, project management, data modeling, and technical communication.

Gain technical depth not found in most MIS degree programs

Thanks to Franklin’s spotlight on technology throughout the MIS coursework, you’ll be better prepared to tackle the complex technical issues businesses face and to build, support, and grow useful information systems. Not only will you learn to design, code, and test software, you’ll possess the mathematical knowledge and skills to apply technology effectively and efficiently in support of critical business processes, including inventory control, risk analysis, and market projections.

Through hands-on, group and individual projects, you’ll gain practical experience, too, integrating systems that deliver real business value. For example, you’ll interact with an open source ERP system, build a website, add e-commerce functionality, and configure customer relationship management (CRM) modules in support of business intelligence and sales. In another project, you’ll plan out a complete systems upgrade, from infrastructure to staffing to budget, and develop a solution with consideration for the business impact, risk, and reward.

Benefit from industry-leading curriculum taught by experienced faculty

Because our course offerings reflect the recommendations of computing professional societies, such as the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP), you can be confident your education reflects industry-leading standards.

You’ll learn from real-world practitioners, too; professions with extensive years of experience in the field who teach, encourage, and inspire, helping you learn from their mistakes—and build upon their successes. And because an expert advisory panel regularly reviews our curriculum, you can be assured that our MIS Degree Program is current and relevant, even in a rapidly changing information systems environment.
