Curriculum in Information and Operations
Management
The B.B.A. degree in Information and
Operations Management (INFO) offers a broad range of career opportunities.
Students develop the knowledge necessary to plan and organize
decision making and to communicate effectively in work settings
that demand analytical and computer-aided solutions. This degree
program affords the student maximum choice flexibility of jobs,
industries and organizations influenced by rapidly changing technologies.
Tracks in Information and Operations Management.
INFO majors must select a set of courses within a track. A
list
of desirable track courses is available
from the Department of Information and Operations Management
undergraduate advisor (Room 319, Wehner Building).
Management Information Systems Track. The
Management Information Systems (MIS) track addresses the impact
of computer-based information
systems in a variety of organizational settings. An MIS track
student learns to analyze, design and implement information
systems required by diverse business activities. The demand
for professionals capable of dealing with complexities of modern
business organizations and advanced computer systems is widespread.
Supply Chain Management Track. The students
of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) track study the flow of
products and information from
raw material suppliers, through operations, to the final customer.
Students gain a solid background in procurement, distribution
and operations management, and in numerous information technologies
such as electronic business and enterprise resource planning.
The demand for professionals in this area is rapidly growing
as firms are incorporating information technology into their
domestic and global operations.
