This Business Information Management major consists of an integrated curriculum covering computing (computer science, informatics, and software); business fundamentals (accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and operations); and analytical methods (mathematics, statistics, economics, management science, and decision analysis). Overall, the major vigorously emphasizes how raw business data is gathered, stored, analyzed and distilled into valuable strategic information, all with a proper understanding of the technical, social, ethical and organizational challenges that are involved. Additionally, students learn how to adapt to ever-changing business conditions — whether it is new disruptive technologies, trends, rules and regulations or corporate strategies.
Because technology drives nearly all aspects of business and innovation today, demand for business information management majors is strong. Students graduate prepared to pursue careers in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, or they can proceed to graduate school in several disciplines, including information systems, computing, economics, business, and law.
