MIS courses focus on people and how they use information systems | |||
| By learning the process of user-centered design, our students also learn to create, organize, and manage the kind of information that people want to use, in ways that facilitate their work.
The SLIS MIS degree program requires 42 semester units (14 classes) and can be completed in 18 to 24 months. SLIS is also ranked number one in the nation in terms of scholarly output. U.S. News ranks SLIS number six in the nation within our field.
Representative courses include:
L542: Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
HCI tries to extend our understanding of what it means to interact with computers, then how to use this knowledge to improve the design and evaluation of products.
This course examines human performance, aspects of technology, methods, techniques, and evaluation of interface design, as well as societal impact.
It is of particular value for students interested in the development and testing of effective and efficient computer interfaces. Formal software evaluations and usability tests will be conducted.
L571: Information architecture for the web
Focus is on the conceptual, technical, organizational, and social contexts that surround the team-based development and maintenance of large-scale and complex web sites.
Participants will have a deeper understanding of the concept of information architecture and an appreciation for its use in the design of web-based information spaces.
L561: The information industry: electronic commerce
Learn about the history, development, and economics of e-commerce. Read about and discuss current policy documents and research reports that are attempting to shape the current milieu and future of e-commerce.
Students will also design, create, and manage their own Internet business and operate it in a virtual economy with a competitive marketplace for two months.
L543: Strategic intelligence
In war as in business, surprise can be a powerful strategic weapon.
In competitive, high-velocity markets, ignorance of other players' actions, or of developments in the wider business environment can prove costly. The more an organization depends on information and communication technologies, the greater its vulnerability to hackers.
Learn to identify mission critical information assets, conduct threat assessments, information systems security, and develop strategic intelligence and counterintelligence capability.
