<p>I am getting a degree in MIS and graduating in Spring 2010 (if I pick Finance as well). As part of graduating from the college, I had to take couple of finance classes that were interesting to me and now I am considering a minor in Finance. I am wondering if it will be any useful or is getting a minor has any value at all? I am also thinking of minoring in Finance because I think it is a good back up if in case I do not get any job in MIS. I talked to advisers at my school but they aren't much of a help, talked to couple different ones and they all have varied response so I am extremely confused and will highly appreciate your replies. Thank you.</p>
<p>It won’t help you in MIS, but if you are interested in finance then take the classes (if it doesn’t delay your graduation).</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing because my school offers a shortened MIS concentration if you concentrate in finance. They also do this with accounting.</p>
<p>So…not to steal the thread but will it be beneficial to study MIS and accounting as well</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>yeah but i m not into accounting as much as finance. plus it seems like i would like to work as an analyst or under writer in finance than be an accountant if i can’t get a job with MIS</p>

<p>Only if you are interested in becoming an IT Auditor (Big 4). Otherwise, there isn’t much value in it. Some schools offer a Accounting Information Systems degree which is essentially a combination of Accounting and MIS, just for this purpose.</p>
