<p>What does everyone think of this major? Job outlook looks very promising and the salary is higher than most undergraduate business majors</p>

<p>I was planning on going the accounting route but i think it's not for me. Im good with numbers but computers interest me more than auditing work. I already know some excel, VB, HTML, CSS. I dont want to be a pure developer/coder however and they are easily outsourced to other countries. That's the reason why i didnt go the CS route. I have always wanted to major in something related to business.</p>

<p>Im looking to be a systems analyst, business analyst, network admin or database admin.</p>

<p>I’m majoring in Business Information Management, which is basically the same thing, the job prospects are very good, many of our alumni got employed with the big4,accenture,mckinsey etc.</p>

<p>This is our curriculum</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to double major MIS with say finance or accounting? It would probably take an extra 8-12 months of school</p>

<p>What kind of doors would open up if I pick up a second major in finance/accounting?</p>

<p>I too am looking at a MIS major with a Finance minor. The biggest concern for this job is outsourcing.</p>

<p>Does going to a target school make a big difference for this major?</p>

<p>Ummm…</p>

<p>If a developer job can be outsourced then a systems analyst job can SURELY be outsourced.</p>

<p>If you are worried about outsourcing, then why not look at defense/INTEL jobs. Those jobs will not be outsourced and usually will not be cut much in funding (regardless of what CNN or FoxNews says).</p>

<p>I think MIS is a fancy way of saying Business.</p>

<p>My understanding is that it is very dependent on the school a person attends. If it is a weak school for MIS than you might find it to be very hard to find a job. However, if the school has a strong MIS department, the jobs you mentioned are obtainable.</p>
