美国硕士管理信息系统专业知多少？

MIS（Management Information System）管理信息系统做为一个门新兴 的交叉学科，将经济学，管理学，运筹学，统计学与计算机科学等学科紧 密地联系在一起，培养兼具信息技术与商业才能的复合型人才。根据第三 方社会调查机构最新数据显示 MIS 专业毕业生从事的职业都位列最高薪职 业 TOP 前 30，属于就业热门专业。

美国信息系统管理专业(Management Information System,MIS) 是一 个以人为主导的，利用计算机硬件、软件和网络设备，进行信息的收集、 传递、存储、加工、整理的系统。它将商业和信息技术完美的结合起来， 从而使信息获取更为便捷，工作更为高效，很大程度上提高组织的经营效 率。不同于信息系统（Information System,IS），管理信息系统是一个有 计划的系统，通过收集、储存和传递必要的资料，达到管理的功能。MIS 简 而言之就是信息技术在商业领域的应用，课程设置上包含了技术类课程以 及商学的课程，还有的学校是 CS 学院和商学院公共授课。

这门学科主要研究信息管理以及信息系统分析、设计、实施、管理和评价等方面的基本理论和方法。MIS 专业主要教授两方面的知识，一方面是技 术类知识，如软件和硬件知识，各种信息系统知识，数据处理知识，信息 系统的设计，分析以及应用，信息系统实践等；另一方面是管理知识，如 管理理论，战略管理，如何管理可以使信息系统应用最优化，如何有效使 用信息系统可以有助于完成商业决策和企业提升，等等。 近年来，由于信息技术的高速发展，信息系统已经被全面的应用在企业管 理里，而企业中信息部门成了一个不可或缺而且极为重要的企业组成部分。 随着 MIS 人才的需求和专业的实用性，MIS 已经逐渐成为一个热门的专 业，吸引着有技术背景但想要获取专业管理知识，或者有管理背景但是需 要了解相关信息系统知识的人才。
