Overview

Information Systems professionals fill a critical role across many sectors; they implement and manage complex systems projects, design business processes, and provide support of management and decision-making.

In pursuing a degree in Information Systems at Northwestern University, students learn concepts, skills, and technologies that enable organizations to manage and improve the flow of information. They explore how data is collected, stored, processed, and communicated as a means of sustaining operations, interacting with customers and suppliers, and competing in the marketplace.

Students learn to navigate both software and hardware challenges as they analyze problems in real-world cases. Skills that are crucial for working within organizations – professional communication, critical thinking, and collaboration—are developed through courses in business communication and leadership. Instructors for all courses are working professionals; their practical knowledge shapes the classroom experience.
