Business Administration - Information Management Option

Coordinator - Douglas W. Lyon

The Business Administration major - Information Management option integrates information systems and business administration to prepare students for professional careers in the information systems sector. These include positions in systems analysis, business consulting, e-commerce, and information management.

The Information Management option is not intended to prepare students for a programming career; rather, it is designed to prepare students for the management of business information systems. For a more technical approach, students should pursue a degree in Computer Science or Information Systems.
