i just graduated from college and i did MIS degree at first i didn't even know what i was actually learning as we got a lot of courses such as cyber security, data warehousing and mining, database management systems, data communication and networking,...and so on throughout my carrier we got 49 course and i was overwhelmed by these subjects 7couses per semester 7×7=49 I'm now realizing how huge MIS program really is we got into yes is indeed a great one i thank myself for taken part of this long tourney MIS is a life long learning program which comes with a lot of benefits both profesonal and organizational. THANK YOU BRO FOR THIS VIDEO is really incouraging
Congratulations! Job well done.
I have been in HR for 5 years in the army. I am finishing my associate and enrolling in MIS next fall because of you. I am 25 and I want to stack my resume.
Been in healthcare for 8 years just finished doing all my prerequisites for nursing but really want to do MIS burn out in healthcare and don’t have a passion for it.. I love tech ..
Thanks bro..my son is thinking about changing his degree from CS to MIS…this made it make sense. Preciate it 👊🏾
This is very good information. I have been in tech since 94 & this is the degree that I finally went back to school for. I retired from AWS after my four years and now I am an AVP of Architecture for a financial company.
Appreciate your well thought out videos man. You’re doing good work for people out here man, I hope you know that.
Thank you
damn, this major looks like it was customized for me...with all those options!
Thanks Antoine! I’m in the Email Development (Software) space currently. Looking to advance to sales in 3-5 years when I have a bit more saved up.. maybe the MIS degree can fast track my timing.🤔
Hi! I enjoy your video! I don’t understand difference between computer information system, management information system and information systems and information technology. Could you make/ show the video about that ? Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the great video! Can you give me tips on how to break into big tech as as MIS degree holder. e.g. microsoft, google..etc
Here are some tips.
1. **Build a Strong Foundation in Tech and Business:** Ensure you have a solid understanding of both technical skills (like programming, database management, systems analysis) and business acumen. This unique combination is valuable in tech companies.
2. **Specialize in a Niche:** Identify areas within MIS that particularly interest you, such as data analytics, cybersecurity, or cloud computing. Specializing can make you more attractive to employers.
3. **Gain Practical Experience:** Internships or part-time jobs in tech companies can provide invaluable experience. Even small projects or freelance work can be beneficial.
4. **Network Actively:** Attend industry conferences, join professional groups, and connect with individuals working in big tech companies. Platforms like LinkedIn can be very useful for networking.
5. **Work on Personal Projects:** Demonstrate your skills and passion by working on personal or open-source projects. This showcases your initiative and practical abilities.
6. **Prepare for Interviews:** Big tech companies often have rigorous interview processes. Prepare for both technical and behavioral interviews. Practice coding interviews if applying for technical roles.
7. **Leverage Your Alumni Network:** Many universities have alumni working in big tech companies. Reach out to them for advice, mentorship, or referrals.
8. **Apply Broadly and Persistently:** Don’t limit your applications to just a few companies. Apply broadly, and don’t get discouraged by rejections. Persistence is key in landing a role in big tech.
Good luck!
I’m halfway thru my bachelors in MIS and learning SQL and Python at the moment. After going to pursue Project Management certification.
If you don’t mind me asking, what college are you attending? I am currently looking for a good college with this program.
Florida Atlantic University@@OfficialWilliamsFamily
@@OfficialWilliamsFamilyI’m going to EKU but they used to have computer information systems but changed that to management information systems which doesn’t make much sense. But what’s cool is you can get a minor in the degree as well
We need episode about IS master degree on IT auditor career and if there are one please refer to watch it
Im so hesitant to go into either CIS or MIS as a person coming out of the healthcare lab field with my AAS. Its making me have to start over a lot. There is very few resources near me to explain the difference and let alone whats worth it for me. The associate route to transfer or to jump straight into the bachelor's while i am still working 9-5. Its a lot to think about.
How would I start again, what course I should take ?
I’m currently enrolled for my first college at 24 at snhu getting a degree in cs and taking business courses as electives what do you think?
I'm in MIS right now during college is there any advice someone would give to me going into my junior year looking for a internship. (trying to learn more about how this major can be implemented into the jobsite, and what I would be doing in a career in MIS).
What are some colleges with good MIS programs? Also, if there’s any good programs over here in Cali, I would appreciate the recommendation
This is all research you can do
Hey man i’m getting out the Marines soon and im hunting for a major the last 4 years I haven’t done anything that can compare or transfer over into the civilian world…is MIS a smart option for someone that sucks with computers and uses a calculator for simple math just to be sure he’s right… or should I look for something easier?
Go the MIS route to learn new skills for the modern technology world. You are a marine and have the "can do" mentality so get it done sir.
Hi Antoine, thanks for you video, it really motivates me to do MIS, is a Bachelor of Information Technology (Information Systems) same as MIS? I am in Australia and I cannot find a degree called MIS, thanks for your help
No, a Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) and a Bachelor of Management Information Systems (BMIS) are not the same, although they have some overlap.
A BIT program typically focuses on a broad range of topics related to technology, including computer science, programming, networking, and hardware, with a focus on technical skills and knowledge.
In contrast, a BMIS program is more focused on the management and strategic aspects of information systems within organizations. It combines technology with business and management concepts, covering areas such as database management, project management, business analytics, and information security.
While there can be similarities in coursework, the emphasis and career outcomes for these two degrees can differ. A BIT graduate may pursue roles in IT development, support, or infrastructure, while a BMIS graduate may aim for positions related to IT management, systems analysis, or consulting within the business context.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it
Awesome video! NYU has a program called "BS in Information Systems Management (STEM)", would that be the same as MIS? It does mention that it has a greater focus on technology than workplace settings, compared to a traditional MIS degree. Any advice would be lovely!
Yes it's basically the same
I have a Bachelors of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science. Originally I was thinking of just getting some IT certs and working my way into a clinical application coordinator role, then I started thinking about a masters degree. Would a masters in MIS be worth it? Your videos are very well done btw. Really helpful.
A masters will be worth it but don't think about it for just helping you to become an application coordinator as the degree is more for you transitioning down a management path. So if you haven't thought about the long term then hold off on the masters as the skills you need to become an app coordinator can be obtained for far less than a masters degree
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I really appreciate the reply. I’m thinking of working as an app coordinator asap and through obtaining my masters and then going into management after. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
Is Business Information Systems (BIS) the same thing basically?
Junior in university pursuing this degree, just started my first IT internship this week 💪🏼 don’t know what I wanna do but I’m super curious about everything and just want experience
Hi! May I ask how you landed your internship (how many people at the company did you reach out to? how prepared did you feel? what skills did you put on your resume?) and how the experience was? I am in IS right now and want an internship for next summer. Thanks!
Keep up the great work
@@lilyyy778 sorry for the late reply, I probably applied to about 10-15 internships and had no luck. I just switched my major to this program and didn’t think I had enough knowledge to land a role at a legit tech company yet, so I talked to my dad who works for the city I live in. They have an IT department at city hall and they let me come in and shadow them, they had me officially in their system as an intern. I highly recommend if people can’t land an internship by simply applying and talking to people at company’s they wanna work for, to start off getting their foot in the door by talking to people they know. The hardest internship or job to get is the first one. Since I’ve added that to my resume I’ve actually had a few offers come to me for next summer.
Been looking into this, but my current school offers Business Management ba, and MIS as a minor only
Close enough
I’m going with a cybersecurity management concentration 🙏🏾
My school offers this concentration, but I never hear about it. So far, how's it going? Do you think a new grad with this degree has a better job outlook than an MIS grad?
What should a MIS/BTMA degree consist of when it comes the courses in that degree?
Sufiya, please look at the schools website that you would like to attend. All the information is there.
Jesus Loves all of you guys
Hi, I am hesitant to choose where to study accounting or business information systems?
Oh wow. I am hesitant that you are hesitant. Where or what?
Is CIS same as MIS
How's the job market in the USA for someone with a Management Information Systems degree and a few years of experience in India? ( im in high school rn but wanna study and work here for a bit and possibly go to the US? )
The job market is really competitive
Just a quick question that you might have answered already. How much coding do you need to do with MIS degree?
About 2 classes
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thank you.
I am a physics graduate with no knowledge in programming. is it advisable to take a course in MIS in my post graduate program?
(I don't like coding)
What reason are you considering MIS now as a physics grad? A MS in MIS would be better if IT is where you want to be but if you aren't clear on what you want to do then find clarity first.
My decision to take a MS in MIS is because I have high interest in Business Tech unrelated to my UG degree and hoping I get good at it. I don't just have any programming skill, can I give it a shot?
@@Seek_for_knowledgeyes you certainly can. A MS in MIS will require little coding and the coding wouldn't be anything that you can't do.
Thank you for your swift response, I really appreciate it @@ElevateToTheUnknown
How are the people in MIS compared to cs are they more social and friendly?
Definitely more social and friendlier🙌🏽
its a pretty rare degree outside the us. any help for people overseas ?
The Management Information Systems (MIS) degree, which focuses on the study of information technology in the context of business and management, can have different names outside the United States. These include:
Business Information Systems (BIS): This term is often used in Europe and Australia. It emphasizes the integration of IT with business processes.
Business Information Technology (BIT): Similar to BIS, this term is commonly found in the UK and some parts of Europe.
Information Systems Management (ISM): This variant is seen in various countries and puts a slight emphasis on the management aspect of information systems.
Information Technology Management (ITM): While similar to MIS, ITM sometimes leans more towards the technology aspect.
Information Systems (IS): In some regions, the 'management' part of the title is dropped, but the curriculum largely remains the same.
Enterprise Systems Management (ESM): This term is less common but is used in some institutions, focusing on enterprise-level systems.
Business Computing: Some universities, especially in Europe, use this term to describe a degree that combines business and computing aspects similar to MIS.
Different countries and educational institutions might have slight variations in the curriculum and focus areas, but these degrees generally cover similar core concepts revolving around the application of information technology in business and management contexts.
Is a management BbA with a information systems emphases good?
It can be. I would suggest comparing the curriculum to that of MIS to see if there is a difference.
Do you think somebody can go for an MIS option while doing a 9 to 5 job ? I mean taking efficiently those clases while being Military for example
Yes. Consider WGUs ITM program.
@ElevateToTheUnknown thank you very much
Hey there sir. I'd like to ask if this is the same as Accounting Information Systems. And if not, is AIS a good decision to take?
No it's not but similar. AIS is specific toward accounting systems and a good area of focus.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thanks for responding brother! Love from the Philippines:)
My son is graduating with a degree in business information technology degree. Is this the same? He wanted MIS But his college offered BIT instead.
It's the same degree.
Can i get a job right out of this degree even without other certifications?
If you don't apply to a job then you won't. If you are not good at interviews then you won't. If you don't have any internships or job experience then you wont, But if you do all of these things well, you will.
Compared with Finance, Economics and Accounting how difficult is a Information Systems major?
You may want to ask someone who earned all of these degrees to get an accurate assessment. There may be very few people on this planet who did all 4 of them😂.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown My bad bro I thought you were familiar with those fields as well. Sorry for the dumb question.
@@josem793 I am but by no means did I complete all of those degrees to compare them to information systems. What I can say is that there is not that much math in information systems compared to the others.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown ok nice ! I might consider a degree in Information Systems then but I'll keep doing my research obviously thanks for the response !
@josem793 I'm a college freshman and i switched my major to mis a couple weeks back because of this guys videos, and im looking forward to what ill eventually learn. I suggest you give it a shot. Knowing that you're gonna be high in demand and also have a bunch of opportunities is amazing
What jobs are you talking about specifcally when you say sales.
Sales development rep,
Business development rep
Account executive
Account manager
@@ElevateToTheUnknownI never expected you to respond so quickly. Thanks
would this work well with real estate?
You don't need a degree for real estate but yes it will.
MIS degree with Full stack Developer or Software Engineering Certificate.
Both would be great but if I were to choose i would go with SE
Is this just information systems the same as management information systems
Yes very very similar.
But can’t AI do this for companies now?
Simplest answer is no.
What is the equivalent degree for MIS at MIT?
They do have programs like it.
