The specialization exposes students to business systems and management principles with a sound knowledge of information technology and its application to the business environment. It prepares students to become recognized information systems professionals with solid foundations in information systems management.

The specialization is recommended for students seeking a career as information systems professionals, including paths as a business/systems analyst, system developer, IT project manager, security specialist, IT consultant, network administrator, database administrator, systems auditor or management consultant specializing in the management information systems.

Although it is preferable that you choose this specialization at the start of your first year, many students discover an interest in this field only after they have been exposed to it in their second-year course ADM 2372.
