Welcome to the Management Information Systems
(MIS) Division of the Sauder School of Business,
the University of British Columbia. MIS is the
study of the design, implementation, management
and use of information technology applications
in organizations. The Sauder MIS Division is recognized
as one of the world's leading MIS programs for
research productivity. Our research spans a wide
variety of topics ranging from the technical,
economic and behavioral aspects of MIS to conceptual
modeling and systems design. The MIS faculty is
supported by an active doctoral
program whose graduates have gone on to some
of the world’s top universities. We also
offer a research-focused masters
program as well as support an MIS major for
the Sauder undergraduate
business program.
I invite you to explore our Web site and learn
more about our division, people and research.
