MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Management Information Systems in VSB encourages students to pursue a study abroad experience related to their major. Studying MIS abroad is a wonderful opportunity for you to broaden and deepen your understanding of MIS while continuing coursework in your major.
Along with taking courses toward the MIS major, students should consider personal and professional opportunities that come with studying in a foreign country, such as internships and research.
As with most other VSB majors, it is important to begin thinking and planning the study abroad process early. Early planning will allow students to have a firm understanding of what can be taken abroad and what needs to be completed on campus.
鈥疘t should be noted that first-year鈥疺SB students cannot study abroad (with the exception of the Global Citizens Program), and鈥痵tudents must meet prerequisite requirements for their overseas institution.鈥��
鈥疶ell your academic advisor that you are interested in studying abroad at each registration appointment. Together, identify the best terms to go abroad, based on the courses in your four-year plan.
Some things to consider for鈥疢anagement majors:鈥��
You can take up to two MIS courses abroad.
MIS courses often cross-list with other VSB majors and minors 鈥� like Business Analytics
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from more than 3,000 study abroad courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.

Don't forget - VSB has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
Please consult with your Clay Center Advisor to discuss that best time for you to study abroad.
Study abroad opportunities are not limited to formal instruction.
