Program Design

The Management Information Systems program is offered to students who would like to continue their studies at another college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree.

Students planning to transfer should consult a counselor or faculty advisor about their choice of electives before selecting specific courses.

You should be familiar with the requirements of the institution to which you will transfer credits. We encourage you to select your transfer college or university as early as possible. Also, you should see an advisor before choosing elective courses in this associate degree program because each institution may have specific degree requirements.
