Careers in MIS
As an MIS professional, you can work anywhere in the world for any kind of organization. You can choose from a variety of fields, such as consulting, public accounting, information technology, aerospace, insurance, energy, and information security. Graduates build successful careers as consultants, business analysts, systems analysts, programmer analysts, technology and risk assurance auditors, network and systems administrators, project managers, and computer training and support personnel.
Importantly, our field is people oriented, where IS professionals help business analyze their information needs, then guide the technology-driven solutions for those needs. Interestingly, IS professionals may actually spend much less of their time behind a computer than other business disciplines.
Many firms from around the country actively recruit MIS graduates every year from Washington State University:
