elcome to the Kelley School of Business’ Information Systems Department -- a department uniquely positioned to educate leaders who can “Make the Connection” between people, technology, systems, and business for the 21st century. Our mission is to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to design, develop, use, manage, and study information systems in increasingly complex and dynamic global business environments. We serve to educate business professionals–in every discipline–who must understand the competitive possibilities enabled through and with technology. Our mission is clearly ambitious, precisely because we choose to work at the cutting edge. Students, faculty, and our corporate partners come to the Information Systems Department because they want to be working on the frontiers of business and technology.

The Information Systems Department offers degree programs at every level. Graduates of our undergraduate CIS major or BIS co-major and the Master of Science in IS possess specialized technical and systems skills and knowledge directly connected to critical business and managerial skills and knowledge. Our MBA students, with a major in Operations & Systems Management or a minor in IS, possess innovative perspectives vital for business success in today's technology-driven environment. Through our Ph.D. program we develop scholars who seek to understand beliefs about how information systems operate and how they affect the people, groups, and organizations that use them. In all our degree programs, our goal is to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for graduates to systematically address the challenging problems and opportunities facing organizations in the 21st century.

The Information System Department houses an outstanding group of nationally and internationally recognized faculty. Currently ranked 2nd in the U.S. for research publications, our faculty are widely recognized for their contributions to theory and practice. Our belief that theory, practice, and our educational programs must be combined is evidenced through our strong relationships within the practitioner community. Relationships with companies such as Cisco, British-American Tobacco, Eli Lilly, Ford, John Deere, State Farm, and IBM, among many others, have resulted in closely coupled cooperation in research, doctoral education, and curriculum development. In addition to being the home for outstanding scholars, the Information Systems Department possesses exemplar teachers. Our faculty and lecturers have been the recipients of numerous teaching awards and honors for both undergraduate and graduate education.

As the Information Systems Department, we are committed to developing and delivering the best IS education and research possible. Come experience what makes us different. Join us as we “Make the Connection” between people, technology, systems, and business to invent the future.
