Information Systems are becoming ever more central to the success of businesses across all industries; thus the ultimate aim of this course is to develop students’ abilities to employ these systems to manage the complex challenges that might confront a typical business.

 

To achieve this aim, the course provides the students with a coherent body of knowledge in two growth areas namely: Management and Information Systems.

 

The solid foundation in these two areas equips students with an MIS degree with the ability to develop the knowledge and the skills that allows them to close the gap, of knowledge, skills, culture, and language that exists between functional managers and information systems specialists, which has rendered both decisions and investments in such systems as failures.

 

As such, the graduate of this course will be in a strong position to lead the successful development and implementation of sophisticated information systems across a wide range of business organizations and across different managerial functions and levels.

MSA University is always keen to offer its students a competitive edge to complement their Bachelor degrees. And because many students are interested to acquire a strong foundation in many areas of study, MSA University decided to introduce minors that will be of interest to MSAians with high academic achievement, in many exciting areas.

 

Earning a minor allows students to address their diverse academic interests and develop extra skills, which for a future employer is very important to show that they have a second area of expertise. The student can chose a minor that goes in handy with the student’s major or a minor that is in a totally different field to add excitement to their studying experience at MSA. For example, if you’re an Engineering student, how about taking up a Management minor? You sure would like to open up your own business one day, and you’ll certainly need to learn more about organizational management and how to become a great leader.

 

It's a very flexible way to plan ahead and combine their areas of interest and save time and money in their years of university study; it only consists of 5 courses. The only requirement is a minimum of CGPA 2.00 in the first year in university.

 

It’s worthy to mention that taking a minor will extend the student’s regular graduation time by one semester. Chose a minor and stand out!
