Deciding on which two concentrations...?

Hi all,

I am going into my 3rd year of college, MIS major.
If I complete my requirements and MIS concentration courses, I will still have some classes left to fill to get 128 credits.
Only 3-4 classes, so I might as well get another concentration, right?
I’ve been thinking of doing MIS with Finance or Accounting, but I also looked at having a math minor than F/A.

Either:
MIS & Finance (4 semesters left)
MIS & Accounting (4 semesters left)
MIS & math minor (4 semesters left)
Finance & math minor (4 semesters left)
Business & Math combined (4.5 semesters left)

I enjoy all of them, so I’m deciding what to do. The thing about the combined is that I think it only requires Finance as a main concentration, so it’s basically Finance & Math combined.
I’m also considering graduate school, if that makes any difference.

What confuses me is when someone said:
“MIS and Math/Finance are completely unrelated and will not make you any more attractive in the job market. Math and finance are also largely unrelated. The mathematics contained in finance are (for the most part) really basic. Business and Math is a good combination”

There’s also the option of going for nothing but MIS, although two concentrations are better than one, right?
I hear minor isn’t very important as it doesn’t show on the degree and you might as well major in the subject.
If so, I’ll pick something more ‘worthwhile’. Still a few options to pick from.
CS and engineering are long, complicated stories, so these are these options I pretty much have left.
Careers that are (computer) technical and/or actuarial, and similar, are ones that I might want as those are what I’m thinking.
They might be far-fetched or wishful-thinking, but I need some sort of goal to reach for.
People have said to go for experience, but I need a strong academic background to get good exp.
Also, I can’t stop to think what to do because this is my small plan and I need to keep going.

Thank you.

The thing about fields is that they can be as related or unrelated as one wants depending on what exactly they are doing in the field. MIS can be very math heavy or involve no math at all; finance, too, can be very math heavy or involve only basic math depending on the job you have and the focus you choose.

The short version is that it doesn’t really matter what you choose. Choose something that’s interesting to you. Any of your choices can be potentially meaningful and useful.

No, not necessarily.

That’s not true, either. What shows up on you degree is irrelevant because you don’t show the actual degree to anyone. What you put in your resume is more relevant, and you can list your minors there. So they can be relevant especially if your minor relates to some job skills.

For MIS have you had to take basic accounting/finance classes? Is MIS in the b-school?

Thanks. MIS doesn’t have much math involved, which frightens me because the more math, the better, right? Someone has said to just focus on MIS, do internships, and then enter the job market. Accounting classes to be a CPA couldn’t hurt, right? I’ll look more into accounting classes.

MIS is in the college of business. All business students have to take basic accounting/finance classes. Concentration classes of MIS are: Fundamentals of Information Analytics, Introduction to Web Design, Practices, and Standards, and Data Mining for Business. There is an overlap of MIS and accounting, the class being: Accounting Information Systems. I could do MIS and Accounting and take the overlap class. What do you think? Thanks.

Do you find accounting fun/interesting?
