<p>Whenever I look up the educational requirements for database administrator jobs, it always says "Computer Science or similar degree required". Some websites have information systems as a requirement. My question is could I be a database administrator with a MIS degree and possibly a Computer Science minor? Also, for those who have experience in database administration, could you please lend some insight. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>CISystems, MIS, IS, IT, etc. degrees are typically business-based, with lower levels of technical content aimed at preparing one to manage and administer computers and their software, as opposed to designing and developing computers and their software.</p>
<p>Yes, you can be a database administrator with an MIS degree, as long as you take database-related courses.</p>
