The information systems management program enables students to manage and work with information systems that meet business or organization requirements effectively; this means that students must understand the need for fault tolerant systems that are within the requirements of budgetary constraints, incorporate ethical and legal considerations, and meet specific enterprise goals, including quality requirements for customer service.

Students are provided information system-specific skill sets, including:

• Analysis and design of information systems that meet enterprise needs. This includes developing a comprehensive understanding in the systems development life cycle, including planning, analysis, data gathering, and acquiring basic project management skills. Students also acquire basic skills in project management and project control.
• Use and experience with multiple design methodologies (such as the System Development Life Cycle, Agile Development and Joint Application Development), and multiple system models (procedural, enterprise, data-oriented and object-oriented models). 
• Experience in the use of multiple programming languages, which is used as a tool for system construction and modification, with an understanding of appropriateness for an application and the capabilities and limitations of a language. 
• Development of hardware, software and networking skills, including different computing platforms and operating environments. This also includes understanding networking concepts and applications. 
• Understanding of data management, including structured query language (SQL) structures and techniques; entity-relation diagrams (ERD); normalization and data optimization.
• Understanding of the role of information systems in organizations, including information technology for competitive advantage, value chain, enterprise resource planning; electronic business and electronic commerce; and supply-chain management.
