The Department strives to equip its students with an integrated set of decision-making skills. The Management Information Systems Major aims to develop expertise in all important aspects of the development, use and management of information systems. It prepares graduates for careers in information systems analysis and design, database design and administration, as well as management of information technology. At Concordia University, the 90-credit BComm programme is intensely competitive. Most will maintain their GPA at a much higher level.
