The Department of Business Analytics, Information Systems and Supply Chain administers the undergraduate degree program in Management Information Systems (MIS).

The undergraduate major in Management Information Systems is designed for those who want to learn more about the intersection of people, processes, and technology to provide competitive advantage to organizations. The purpose of the Management Information Systems program is to provide students with a broad understanding of the role and use of managerial technology in the various functional areas of modern organizations. With this understanding students will design, implement, and manage systems for use in problem solving, decision making, and innovation in organizations. The overall intent is to prepare the student for entry-level positions in medium- and large-sized organizations leading to high-level technical or managerial careers in both the public and private sectors. Students who successfully complete the Management Information Systems major receive a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Management Information Systems. The program Website is accessible at https://business.fsu.edu/undergraduate/majors/mis.

The department also offers a combined BS/MS-MIS pathway and a combined BS/MBA pathway that allows highly qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to accelerate their coursework and take up to nine credit hours of graduate coursework, which may be counted toward both the BS and MS-MIS or MBA degrees. Detailed descriptions of the MS-MIS and MBA program can be found in the Graduate section.

Digital Literacy Requirement

Students must complete at least one course designated as meeting the Digital Literacy Requirement with a grade of “C–” or higher. Courses fulfilling the Digital Literacy Requirement must accomplish at least three of the following outcomes

  • Evaluate and interpret the accuracy, credibility, and relevance of digital information

  • Evaluate and interpret digital data and their implications

  • Discuss the ways in which society and/or culture interact with digital technology

  • Discuss digital technology trends and their professional implications

  • Demonstrate the ability to use digital technology effectively

  • Demonstrate the knowledge to use digital technology safely and ethically

Each academic major has determined the courses that fulfill the Digital Literacy requirement for that major. Students should contact their major department(s) to determine which courses will fulfill their Digital Literacy requirement. Undergraduate majors in Management Information Systems satisfy this requirement by earning a grade of “C–” or higher in CGS 2100 (state mandated business prerequisite requirement) or CGS 2518.

Note: CGS 2518 with a “C–” or better is a graduation requirement for students in the MIS major.

All undergraduates at Florida State University intending to enter a business major should complete RMI 2302, Risk in Business and Society, with a “C–” or better by the end of their sophomore year, but no later than their fifth mapping term.
