Management Information Systems Pathway
AAS to MBA 3+1+1

The EMCC Management Information Systems Pathway

The Management Information Systems Pathway provides the skills necessary for analysis, design, implementation, and management of computer information systems needed to run an effective organization.

Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in either Computer Networking Technology, Computer Programming Technology, or Network Security Technology from EMCC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor's degree.

Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Management Information Systems Concentration can be completed entirely online in one year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.

This pathway can be completed all online.
