So, you have thought about continuing your education, and decided that a graduate degree in information systems sounds like a good idea. Why would you choose to pursue the MIS degree from the Sam M. Walton College of Business?
The Walton College is consistently ranked among the top 25 public undergraduate business schools by U.S. News & World Report, and is accredited by the AACSB. World-renowned faculty and state-of-the-art facilities provide an exceptional learning environment, and relationships with some of the largest companies in the world provide excellent career opportunities.
In terms of technology, the Walton College offers a unique mix of enterprise computing platforms that is unparalleled in an academic environment. Through our strong partnerships with IBM, SAP, Microsoft, and Teradata, we are able to offer cutting-edge curriculum supported by the technology platforms used in many of the world’s largest organizations. The Walton College serves as a technology “hub” for several academic groups, including the Teradata University Network, SAP University Alliance, IBM Academic Initiative, and Microsoft Enterprise Consortium, sharing our extensive resources with other schools around the world. We are also fortunate to be able to provide students with access to large-scale “real-world” datasets from industry partners such as Sam’s Club, Tyson Foods, and Dillard’s.
Some students may choose to concentrate in Enterprise Systems, working with the IBM z-Series 900 mainframe, a technology platform that supports many “mission critical” applications. Another popular focus is Enterprise Resource Planning – learning to leverage, configure, and customize SAP, the business application platform used by most Fortune 500 companies. Others are keenly interested in Business Intelligence, using tools from Teradata, Microsoft, SAP, SAS, and SPSS to learn to find business value in the mountains of data being amassed in today’s increasingly interconnected world. And for those who can’t decide, well, you can do a little bit of everything.
