he goal of the Department of Information Systems is to teach students to exploit computers and technology for business gain. Students will learn how to identify and understand business problems and then determine how computers and associated information technology can be used to solve the problems. Students in this discipline learn to speak the language of both computers and business.

Students in Information Systems gain experience with computer software, hardware, and associated information systems along with an understanding of how to communicate with computer science people as well as the business users.
Information Systems students tend to be people who like working with computers but do not want to be computer programmers and would prefer to be working with the business users in an organization. At the University of Indianapolis, students can concentrate in different areas of information systems such as e-Business, Web design, Cisco networking and accounting information systems.
