The BS in Information Systems program prepares students to be Information Systems professionals. Graduates develop and deploy enterprise-level systems to meet organizational needs. The Business Intelligence Systems (BIS) emphasis prepares graduates to become business intelligence analysts who produce financial and marketing intelligence by querying data repositories, generating reports, and devising methods for identifying data patterns and trends. Organizations store an enormous amount of data. People who are able to perform data mining and can analyze the data to detect trends and form predictions are highly sought by national and regional organizations.
