1 BS in Business & Information Systems (BS BIS) Administered by: Department of Information Systems College of Computing Sciences New Jersey Institute of Technology is.njit.edu About Information Systems and the BS BIS Information Systems Information systems (IS) are computer systems that support business operations, management, and decision making in organizations. IS are an integral part of virtually every work environment and play a critical role in running organizations. They are the heart of the internet-based economy. IS enable people to access the information they need, to collaborate, make informed decisions, and perform their jobs and personal activities effectively. IS and the Web are deeply intertwined. The field of Information Systems bridges computing and business. IS professionals serve as the critical link between the technical and business areas of an organization. They collaborate to solve problems, and then design, analyze, implement, deploy and evaluate the computing systems that drive the modern enterprise. IS professionals are thus among the most essential individuals in an organization, building and managing the systems upon which the enterprise survives and thrives. BS in Business & Information Systems The BS BIS degree provides the best of both worlds a solid understanding of business concepts and the technical know-how to support the needs of an organization and its customers. Besides learning about IS topics such as databases, application development tools, web design, software use and evaluation, management information and decision support systems, students will learn such business topics as accounting, finance, financial products, business operations, and marketing. The program concludes with a capstone project with a major local company. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics points to a great need for people with strong management and technical skills well into the next decade. Jobs in this field include business systems analyst, management analyst, and e-commerce architect. BS BIS students also qualify for NJIT s Business minor. 1
