IS Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are usually offered in Business Schools, as well as in standalone Information Schools or integrated with Computer Science.
IS programs are classified as STEM and typically called:
- Management Information Systems (MIS)
- Information Systems (IS)
- Computer Information Systems (CIS)
The recruitment, mindset, education, demographics, career paths, skills, and jobs of IS professionals are different from other STEM fields but remain poorly understood.
