Nature of Profession:                                                                                   Information systems and technologies are a vital component of successful businesses and organizations—some would say they are business imperatives. As the value and importance of information systems grows, so does the need for people trained in the administration and management of these systems. A degree in information systems management from Southern State Community College combines skills gained in traditional business classes with the technical expertise needed to manage and administer modern information systems and the people that maintain them. Such administrators often serve as “tech translators” bridging the gap between users of information systems and those that build them.

Related Job Titles:                                                                                                 Job titles include systems analyst, application developer, computer support specialist, project manager, and information systems manager.
