Why IS? The IS concentration emphasizes the link between the needs of people (users of information technology) and the technology itself. The IS concentration focuses on the application of information technology to solve business problems and create business opportunities. Because information systems cross all functional boundaries in business, knowledge of IS affords students a plethora of opportunities in business and industry.

ISA is a dynamic outlet for students to network with IS professionals, socialize with other IS students, and support their chosen field of study. It is an invaluable opportunity for students to begin to develop their identity as an IS professional
