VIII. Reason for selecting major
a. At first I was hesitant. I viewed MIS as a major for unsocial tech geeks, spending all the time on a computer in the basement. After researching more about the major, I really enjoyed how it combined the technical and managerial aspects of business. I always want to put myself in an advantage over other potential candidates. Students who graduate with an MIS degree have a distinct advantage entering the workforce since they develop both technical and managerial skills. Due to the increasing demand in the IT field, I desire to learn the capabilities of technology in order to make my company more competitive and efficient. Also, I have a growing passion for Entrepreneurship and am confident that the MIS program will provide me with the suitable skills necessary to manage my own company
