The MIS field is widely recognized for its current and
future career potential. Specific career opportunities depend on the students
interests, coursework, and experience. Some students go into the MIS function
immediately and
rise through the ranks. Others become the MIS specialists in a given functional area

and often work in an information center. The baccalaureate and graduate programs in
business administration are fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate
