Welcome to the Department of Information Systems at the W. P. Carey School of Business. We have a great deal to offer prospective and current students, as well as prospective faculty, and friends of the department. I hope that you enjoy your virtual tour of our department.

The highly ranked undergraduate CIS program is one of the most selective at the W. P. Carey School, as is evident by the quality of students admitted during the most recent application process. Students are exposed to innovations in information technology through courses that are highly applicable to business today and through involvement in internships and students organizations, such as the Department of Information Systems Club (DISC). ASU CIS students are well prepared to use information technology to add value to organizations, making them highly sought after individuals for full-time employment.

The Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM) is an evening degree program designed to enable business people to master the art of managing in an IT-enabled environment.  It is designed for working professionals in the IT field who recognize the importance of information technology in the competitive, global economy. 

Students pursuing a W. P. Carey MBA in the full-time program have the ability to earn an MSIM degree in conjunction with their MBA. In our Ph.D. program, students work closely with our distinguished faculty from the time they enter the program through the dissertation. Recent placements of our doctoral graduates include major research departments across the country.

The Department of Information Systems is also very much engaged with the business community. Our Professional Advisory Board, comprised of local and national business leaders, helps us to ensure that our curriculum is infused with the most current business needs and practices complemented by the cutting-edge research conducted by our faculty.

Our CIS faculty have also made significant contributions in technology through research at the Center for Advancing Business through Information Technology (CABIT) at the W. P. Carey School. Clearly, we believe that the partnership between our department and the business community is a key element to the strength of our programs.
