The MIS minor consists of a sequence of courses that impart fundamental knowledge and skills in the MIS field. Although not as in-depth as the MIS major, the MIS minor provides a useful compliment to many majors.

To declare a minor in MIS, students must submit a plan declaration form to the Advising and Career Center or the Business Department office (Molinaro Hall 344).
