MIS is a fairly broad degree and teaches you specialized skills that employers are dying for. Best combo of business and technology. I would also like to add various business degrees are increasingly loosing value. The technology aspect of MIS is really helpful.
Business administration, finance, marketing, hr, and economics to name a few are certainly on the way of loosing value. I’ve seen it pretty well in my college and many people. They often have to get additional minors/certifications and/or go to grad school to get hired.
Awesome video! I just left nursing school and stumbled across this major and found your videos. I’m taking the pre reqs for this major, starting next fall! Excited for all the opportunities this major will bring me. Thanks for the videos, I’m going to be binge watching all of them 😂♥️
Hi there, this video is great! I'm one year from my bachelor's in Finance and I've been looking into a master's for MIS. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to go straight into the master's because my computer and tech experience is pretty basic. I'm hoping it's slightly more business focused than it is programming focused.
Great video! Please can I ask, so if I become a MIS Major, I won't have time to do anything else other than work? E.g: Vacation, Gaming, Family, etc... since they have huge work loads? And are there any MIS jobs that allow you to work from home?
Hi Venator just about all IT jobs now have remote work options so you can basically work from anywhere. This is what covid has shown the world. Secondly, the number of hours you work should fall inline with the average full time job. It's up to you how much you work above and beyond 40 hours. I have plenty of time for my family and work 60 hours on average a week.
Thanks for the helpful vid as this is a major I'm quite interested in 🙏. One question tho, how hard would the computer side of this will it be? I never took computer science class ever and so is it still possible to go in with no knowledge whatsoever? Im still doing my A levels right now and the subject I took are math, statistics, business and econ
The computer side is learnable. You'll learn everything you need to learn in class and outside of it. Research the curriculum and start exploring the concepts. Have no fear.
Great video! I’m currently in my second year of undergrad majoring in finance but I’ve been thinking of breaking into tech further down the road. Is it possible to obtain an MIS degree with a bachelors in finance?
Hi Ashley, you would have to check with your school to determine if you could double major. I don't see why not as the core business courses should overlap. The other option is to minor in MIS or Minor in CS.
Thank you for the amazing content. Would you recommend someone who already has a non-tech bachelors to go for the Masters in MIS or would it be more beneficial to get a second bachelors? I have no tech background. Any advise would be welcomed. I’m currently trying to figure out what the best step would be for me :)
Thank you so much for responding!! Yes, I am looking to change industries. I have a bachelors in Psychology and currently work in a call center. I want to break into tech. I am interested in the MIS but don’t know whether I should go for another bachelors or go for a Masters in it. I don’t know if the Master’s programs would properly prepare me. I have no tech background.
@@yjasz Just break into IT learning the skills you have. Only get a masters if you want to advance in your career. I know people who have broken into IT without an IT degree. Even someone with a 'useless' degree like you can do it.
Great video! I was just admitted to Emory but they only have a major called “information systems and operation management” do you think it’s the same major as MIS basically?
Emory is a fantastic school congrats. I am a Georgia Tech MBA grad and lived in Georgia for a very long time. The ISOM program is a great program and is very similar to MIS but it allows you more choice into your area of interest such as technology, analytics' or operations. You can choose.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown thanks for the feedback! I’m still deciding between Emory and Arizona State (Just bc it’s cheaper than Emory). But I’d love to move to Atlanta!
Can you give me your opinion on The Master's in MIS at Tarleton University vs the Master's in Information Technology Management at WGU? I am a 48 y/o Military Veteran and both of these programs are online but at a public University, I can go for free (tuition). I currently live in the DFW area and moved from Houston almost 2 years ago and have been an Accountant (Introvert) for 16 years.
Hi, so I'm pursuing my bachelors in MIS and minoring in HEALTHCARE Informatics, do you think this is a good combo, because I wanna become a business analyst or a data analyst. Please let me know Thank you
Hey @John G. I came across this article today.... www.kvue.com/article/money/economy/boomtown-2040/austin-texas-jobs-hiring/269-ae9c5d58-fec2-4a5d-be93-44e752a342fa Also, if you are interested in an unpaid internship please send us your resume.
I want to do mis but finding it hard to choose what profile i should choose. I was a sql dba for 4 years. Then i had a gap of 4 years. I don’t like coding but im good with handling tasks and administration. I want to open my own business in future. I am not choosing dql dba cz it requires night shifts and 24/7 support. I want a profile which is mix engineering plus management but no or very less coding. What profile would u suggest. Hoping to hear from you soon
is MIS and IS basically the same degree? The school I go to offers an IS degree, rather than MIS. Is IS more akin to CIS, or is it basically equivalent to employers as MIS and the different name of the major is just trivial? Thanks!
So my college is doing away with their MIS program and looks like I can either go a different route (Operations & Systems Management) or switch colleges. Think there is anything behind this? Better to switch or transfer? I'm only in my freshman year so I'm not greatly impacted yet. Shoot some suggestions if you have the time.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering). I was going to take it at UWM (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) but they also got rid of their degree a few years ago. Concordia is the only other college near by offering the program.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I was looking into that when I was reaching out to colleges and concluded that it was a different program. Of course I could be wrong. MSOE is definitely eliminating it due to lack of admissions.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thank you for your response. What do you think about going after an MIS Masters Degree after having an International Business Bachelors Degree and working some time in Marketing before. The college tuition is really low in Germany, however when finishing my Masters I would be already 32 years old. The reason is, that I live in Germany, here we don't have many B2C companies and therefore marketing is not that well paid and you often have to work for Agencies. Therefore I am thinking about either going for MIS to learn more marketable skills and future proof my carreer other options I would have is going after a Business Administration Degree or a Marketing Degree.
Hi! If you are studying mis now or you know a lot about it, please help me. Tell me more about it. I am not really a math* person I am so scared to choose this one.
Its not an engineering major so the math is not intense. I did a video on if the math is hard. You will have to study but it is not as intense as engineering math. You can do it.... I hope this helps.
Mis Definitely includes math. Not calculus 2 type of math but a lot of the classes I’ve taken include math. Classes I’ve had to take as an mis major are Econ 1and 2, accounting 1 and 2, finance, bus analytics ex. Even though these aren’t math subjects, these classes revolve around math. I’ve also have had to take math classes such as algebra, business calculus and statistics.
This is fantastic information. After my internship at a large corporate, I found out that combining IT and Business would be a wise investment.
I'm looking forward to starting MIS in Sept.. I will be visiting your videos a lot friendo! Nice video

Wow. Great choices
Hey,
I really like the videos they are very helpful. Do you know of any places in Austin with MIS internship opportunities for students?
Hey @John G. I came across this article today....

Hi! What is the difference between Business Computer Information Systems (BCIS) and MIS?
I want to do mis but finding it hard to choose what profile i should choose.
I was a sql dba for 4 years. Then i had a gap of 4 years. I don’t like coding but im good with handling tasks and administration. I want to open my own business in future. I am not choosing dql dba cz it requires night shifts and 24/7 support. I want a profile which is mix engineering plus management but no or very less coding. What profile would u suggest. Hoping to hear from you soon
Check out the non coding jobs video I did a week ago💪🏾.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown thank you
I will now check about enterprise sales manager and business analyst. Could u tell more about enterprise sales
@@akshitdhadwal video dropping shortly
What’s the difference between a management information systems major and a computer information systems major?
Management Information Systems is more business focused and computer information systems is more computer science focused.
is MIS and IS basically the same degree? The school I go to offers an IS degree, rather than MIS. Is IS more akin to CIS, or is it basically equivalent to employers as MIS and the different name of the major is just trivial? Thanks!
They are basically the same.
What’s the difference between BIT ( business information technology)and MIS
There isn't any difference. They are the same.
Are there certain types of people you wouldn't recommend the degree for?
Yes, people who don't like people nor technology.
What schools would you recommend that offer this degree? I am having a hard time finding themo
I've listed many of them in my videos. Do a search for top MIS programs in your country.
So my college is doing away with their MIS program and looks like I can either go a different route (Operations & Systems Management) or switch colleges. Think there is anything behind this? Better to switch or transfer? I'm only in my freshman year so I'm not greatly impacted yet. Shoot some suggestions if you have the time.
What college?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering). I was going to take it at UWM (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) but they also got rid of their degree a few years ago. Concordia is the only other college near by offering the program.
UWM didn't get rid of the degree. They renamed it to information technology management. Check to see if your school is doing the same.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I was looking into that when I was reaching out to colleges and concluded that it was a different program. Of course I could be wrong. MSOE is definitely eliminating it due to lack of admissions.
I get why they would get rid of it. It's an Engineering school with decreasing attendance across the board.
Will my college gpa after I graduate with my bachelors in MIS matter for employers?
It does for your first job as it shows how much effort you put into your work.
Can someone like me who knows nothing about computer beside surf the web majoring in MIS?
Yes
Me lol I barely know how to do anything, but hey, that’s why we go to school, to learn!
I want to get my MIS degree should I go to community first then transfer to a college or go to college because community is cheaper does it matter?
It really depends on your financial situation. Why not get the full experience of 1 college vs 2?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown true so it won’t doesn’t matter if I do community then college
@@jmoneyextreme3843 it does not
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Ard thanks 🙏🏼
Is information systems and operations management the same as management information systems?
Yes very similar.
whats the difference between management information systems and business information technology?
There isn't much of a difference except BIT leans more toward the technical side of education. It's a fantastic major as well.

Yes it is.
is there any other business degree that’s similar to MIS but with less tech ?
Supply chain management, HR, accounting and finance are all great.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Nice.
Hey ,I am a high school student and i am really interested in studying MIS at university .If i may ask, where did you study MIS.
In the US. A Wisconsin School
Do you have to take calculus or pre calculus?
It depends on your school but most do have calculus as an undergrad prerequisite.
yea i took calc
Generally the calculus is super watered down, as a ton of schools have calc for business majors.
