The Graduate Certificate in Management Information Systems is in the School of Business which is housed within the College of Management. This certificate is designed to give students an in-depth exposure to varying information systems and how these technologies are leveraged to alter organizational structures, improve workflow, and influence a firm’s culture. In addition, the curriculum will allow students to analyze potential security and privacy risks associated with corporate information and how best to mitigate these concerns through administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. The students will be exposed to concepts and applications of data analytics, the big data life cycle, and those processes associated with project management as they pertain to system architecture and a firm’s ability to answer complicated business questions.
