Managament information systems?

Question

I'm studying MIS in college. is this a useful degree? we are learning C# at the moment and will learn data mining etc. since I am a beginner in coding, I want to hear opinions about information systems.

Answer 1

I believe that it is. Data is a great area to focus on, as it will surely be what drives business in the years to come. I would certainly recommend computer science instead but make note that's a biased opinion. However, a CS degree would open up a lot more doors.

Answer 2

thanks for answering bErNbLeNd, I thought MIS was a subbranch of CS.(because they teach coding etc. in classes) Could you be more specific?

Answer 3

MIS sounds like a concentration or plan within CS. The CS degree could have a more traditional route of CS theory and math classes such as diffeq and calc 3, Or a focused route such as processing large amounts of data in an enterprise system that are more practical than theory

Answer 4

Your particular route sounds more business focused such as project management and mid level management of the sort
