Been in healthcare for 8 years just finished doing all my prerequisites for nursing but really want to do MIS burn out in healthcare and don’t have a passion for it.. I love tech ..

[@AntMcLeod]

This is very good information. I have been in tech since 94 & this is the degree that I finally went back to school for. I retired from AWS after my four years and now I am an AVP of Architecture for a financial company.

[@slvmgang3268]

I have been in HR for 5 years in the army. I am finishing my associate and enrolling in MIS next fall because of you. I am 25 and I want to stack my resume.

Hi! I enjoy your video! I don’t understand difference between computer information system, management information system and information systems and information technology. Could you make/ show the video about that ? Thank you 🙂

[@santoreknight]

Hi, all the way from South Africa but Congolese (DRC) by origin I have just came across your page earlier this month of August 2024, thanks for this, very interesting... Well I wish you actually mixed sales and this course lol, I have about 10years of Technical sales, marketing and operation in a broad side of things, I wanted to do MBA, but through my research I came across MiS and grew my curiosity even deeper. Would be great to see a video where you share the Pros and Cons through the years of experience... thanks

[@RavenclawSeer]

Im so hesitant to go into either CIS or MIS as a person coming out of the healthcare lab field with my AAS. Its making me have to start over a lot. There is very few resources near me to explain the difference and let alone whats worth it for me. The associate route to transfer or to jump straight into the bachelor's while i am still working 9-5. Its a lot to think about.

[@VesperVillamayor]

Awesome video! NYU has a program called "BS in Information Systems Management (STEM)", would that be the same as MIS? It does mention that it has a greater focus on technology than workplace settings, compared to a traditional MIS degree. Any advice would be lovely!

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Yes it's basically the same

[@Choppd35]

Thanks Antoine! I’m in the Email Development (Software) space currently. Looking to advance to sales in 3-5 years when I have a bit more saved up.. maybe the MIS degree can fast track my timing.🤔

[@365MRYOLO]

Junior in university pursuing this degree, just started my first IT internship this week 💪🏼 don’t know what I wanna do but I’m super curious about everything and just want experience

[@lilyyy778]

Hi! May I ask how you landed your internship (how many people at the company did you reach out to? how prepared did you feel? what skills did you put on your resume?) and how the experience was? I am in IS right now and want an internship for next summer. Thanks!

[@DHill149]

Keep up the great work

[@365MRYOLO]

@@lilyyy778 sorry for the late reply, I probably applied to about 10-15 internships and had no luck. I just switched my major to this program and didn’t think I had enough knowledge to land a role at a legit tech company yet, so I talked to my dad who works for the city I live in. They have an IT department at city hall and they let me come in and shadow them, they had me officially in their system as an intern. I highly recommend if people can’t land an internship by simply applying and talking to people at company’s they wanna work for, to start off getting their foot in the door by talking to people they know. The hardest internship or job to get is the first one. Since I’ve added that to my resume I’ve actually had a few offers come to me for next summer.

[@CAMPEON-d-ORO]

[@scotttian959]

Thanks for the great video! Can you give me tips on how to break into big tech as as MIS degree holder. e.g. microsoft, google..etc

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

Here are some tips. 1. **Build a Strong Foundation in Tech and Business:** Ensure you have a solid understanding of both technical skills (like programming, database management, systems analysis) and business acumen. This unique combination is valuable in tech companies. 2. **Specialize in a Niche:** Identify areas within MIS that particularly interest you, such as data analytics, cybersecurity, or cloud computing. Specializing can make you more attractive to employers. 3. **Gain Practical Experience:** Internships or part-time jobs in tech companies can provide invaluable experience. Even small projects or freelance work can be beneficial. 4. **Network Actively:** Attend industry conferences, join professional groups, and connect with individuals working in big tech companies. Platforms like LinkedIn can be very useful for networking. 5. **Work on Personal Projects:** Demonstrate your skills and passion by working on personal or open-source projects. This showcases your initiative and practical abilities. 6. **Prepare for Interviews:** Big tech companies often have rigorous interview processes. Prepare for both technical and behavioral interviews. Practice coding interviews if applying for technical roles. 7. **Leverage Your Alumni Network:** Many universities have alumni working in big tech companies. Reach out to them for advice, mentorship, or referrals. 8. **Apply Broadly and Persistently:** Don’t limit your applications to just a few companies. Apply broadly, and don’t get discouraged by rejections. Persistence is key in landing a role in big tech. Good luck!

I have a Bachelors of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science. Originally I was thinking of just getting some IT certs and working my way into a clinical application coordinator role, then I started thinking about a masters degree. Would a masters in MIS be worth it? Your videos are very well done btw. Really helpful.

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

A masters will be worth it but don't think about it for just helping you to become an application coordinator as the degree is more for you transitioning down a management path. So if you haven't thought about the long term then hold off on the masters as the skills you need to become an app coordinator can be obtained for far less than a masters degree

[@sizer3763]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown I really appreciate the reply. I’m thinking of working as an app coordinator asap and through obtaining my masters and then going into management after. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!

I am a physics graduate with no knowledge in programming. is it advisable to take a course in MIS in my post graduate program? (I don't like coding)

What reason are you considering MIS now as a physics grad? A MS in MIS would be better if IT is where you want to be but if you aren't clear on what you want to do then find clarity first.

[@Seek_for_knowledge]

My decision to take a MS in MIS is because I have high interest in Business Tech unrelated to my UG degree and hoping I get good at it. I don't just have any programming skill, can I give it a shot?

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

​@@Seek_for_knowledgeyes you certainly can. A MS in MIS will require little coding and the coding wouldn't be anything that you can't do.

Hi Antoine, thanks for you video, it really motivates me to do MIS, is a Bachelor of Information Technology (Information Systems) same as MIS? I am in Australia and I cannot find a degree called MIS, thanks for your help

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

No, a Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) and a Bachelor of Management Information Systems (BMIS) are not the same, although they have some overlap. A BIT program typically focuses on a broad range of topics related to technology, including computer science, programming, networking, and hardware, with a focus on technical skills and knowledge. In contrast, a BMIS program is more focused on the management and strategic aspects of information systems within organizations. It combines technology with business and management concepts, covering areas such as database management, project management, business analytics, and information security. While there can be similarities in coursework, the emphasis and career outcomes for these two degrees can differ. A BIT graduate may pursue roles in IT development, support, or infrastructure, while a BMIS graduate may aim for positions related to IT management, systems analysis, or consulting within the business context.

[@mateobotiaxp]

@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it

[@stainy7228]

its a pretty rare degree outside the us. any help for people overseas ?

[@ElevateToTheUnknown]

The Management Information Systems (MIS) degree, which focuses on the study of information technology in the context of business and management, can have different names outside the United States. These include: Business Information Systems (BIS): This term is often used in Europe and Australia. It emphasizes the integration of IT with business processes. Business Information Technology (BIT): Similar to BIS, this term is commonly found in the UK and some parts of Europe. Information Systems Management (ISM): This variant is seen in various countries and puts a slight emphasis on the management aspect of information systems. Information Technology Management (ITM): While similar to MIS, ITM sometimes leans more towards the technology aspect. Information Systems (IS): In some regions, the 'management' part of the title is dropped, but the curriculum largely remains the same. Enterprise Systems Management (ESM): This term is less common but is used in some institutions, focusing on enterprise-level systems. Business Computing: Some universities, especially in Europe, use this term to describe a degree that combines business and computing aspects similar to MIS. Different countries and educational institutions might have slight variations in the curriculum and focus areas, but these degrees generally cover similar core concepts revolving around the application of information technology in business and management contexts.
