Information Systems
• Information Systems (IS) is the study of people,
technology, organizations and the relationships among
them.
• IS professionals help firms realize maximum benefit from
investment in personnel, equipment, and business
processes.
• Information Systems is a people-oriented field with an
emphasis on service through technology. If you have an
interest in technology and have the desire to use
technology to improve people’s lives, a degree in IS may
be for you.
Information Systems Need
• Businesses use information systems at all
levels of operation to collect, process and
store data. IS professionals are an
invaluable member of the management
team.
• IS professionals create andmanage
information systems for data
management (i.e., storing, searching and
analyzing data).
Information Systems
• A common misconception is that IS
only concerns computer programming.
However, programming is just a small
part of the IS curriculum.
Information Systems Careers
• Business Analyst
• Privacy Analyst
• Web Developer
• Technical Support Specialist
• Business Intelligence Analyst
• Security Specialist
• IT Consultant
• Database Administrator
• Systems Developer
IS – Do You Qualify?
• Do you enjoy working with people?
• Would you enjoy the chance to work on global
problems with people from all over the world?
• Do you enjoy analyzing and solving problems?
• Do you want to create innovative, cutting-edge
technology solutions and be recognized for
doing it?
• Do you want to learn how to make businesses
more efficient, effective and competitive?
IS – Do You Qualify?
Then you should consider IS - the field
that is experiencing a critical shortage
of professionally trained individuals. A
field where demand is skyrocketing
with projected growth rates of 38
percent – the fastest of any business
discipline.
Interested ?
• Troy University has a new online offering in
Information Systems as part of its bachelor's
degree in business program.
• Students interested in acquiring in-depth
specialization in Information Systems are
encouraged to apply.
• Contact Dr. Ronald Shehane at
shehaner@troy.edu to discuss your career
plans and what IS can do for you.
