Our mission is to integrate quality instruction in information systems and operations management with relevant research and professional services. This integration will help students develop an appropriate background and critical skills needed to function effectively in a global, technology-driven environment. We strive to fulfill this mission as an integral part of the Bryan School of Business and Economics and in support of its mission and purposes. Our chief goal is to provide top-tier information systems and operations management programs in North Carolina as assessed by employers of our graduates. Programs offered by the department include study of information technology and process analysis applied to business operations and management decision making.
Career opportunities are excellent for quality graduates of either of the concentrations.
All students in departmental programs gain extensive experience using networked computer systems and contemporary applications software. The department assists professional student development, participates in the School's internship program, and assists students with career planning and placement. Students with appropriate academic records are encouraged to seek an internship as juniors or seniors. A 2.5 GPA must be maintained and course prerequisites must be followed to enroll in restricted ISM courses. Requirements in future years may be higher or lower depending upon departmental capacity and student demand.
