"Am i? Yes!" = MIS
"Am i? Yes!" is a phonetic way to say MIS or Management Information Systems. "Great!" you say, but what is management information systems? It's the field that drives the world around you, your iPod, Google---an exciting career path that pays well to boot. Think of this site as a quick introduction to this major from Iowa State University.

Information Systems
There is an old Chinese saying,
May you live in interesting times
Welcome to those times! Information technology is fueling the fall of industry icons and the rise of entirely new industries (iPod, Google, eBay) by fundamentally transforming how corporations organize, coordinate, and function (Toyota, Dell, and Wal-Mart). IT has changed the ways in which corporations interact with each other and with us. IT has changed the way we interact with each other (Facebook, Myspace, Wikipedia). IT has changed the very face of commerce. Google, eBay, Dell, MP3s, iPods, Expedia, AccessPlus, ESPN, and breaking the DNA code were just the beginning.
Why be one among the masses that watch the world change around them when you can be among those who are transforming it. No, we are not about programming. We are a major for those who enjoy solving real-world business problems, the change agents.
We want you to be informed. You should be able to ask the things you've wondered but were afraid to ask: What is it? Who cares? Is it for me? Does it pay well? Where are the jobs? Do I have to like programming! We invite you to drop by any of our offices and join the MIS@Iowa_State network on Facebook..
