Management Information Systems is a Bachelor Degree program offered by Keiser University in New Port Richey, FL. The program takes 4 Years to complete, with a total tuition of $99,264.
Program Overview
Keiser University's Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (MIS) sits at the intersection of business strategy and information technology, preparing you to plan, build, and manage the technology systems organizations depend on to operate, grow, and compete. The curriculum covers the full scope of how businesses use technology, spanning systems analysis, data communications, database management, business intelligence, project management, and IT management, alongside a strong foundation in business administration.
Because MIS professionals translate between technical teams and business leadership, the program deliberately pairs computing coursework with business courses in accounting, management, marketing, finance, and human resources. Graduates learn to evaluate business problems, design technology-based solutions, and manage information technology resources across an organization, so they can step into roles that require collaboration with both IT and business stakeholders.
Delivered in Keiser's signature one-class-at-a-time format, the degree is designed to fit working adults and traditional students alike, with on-campus, online, and hybrid options available at select locations. Hands-on group projects, including work with community organizations, give students applied experience in systems analysis and IT resource management before they graduate.
