“Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.” -Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

The days when top executives could claim ignorance about technology and delegate important decisions to the back office staff have come to an end.

Information systems (IS) decisions are crucial to an organization’s success, particularly in the global economy. The field has become the fastest growing area of business, and skilled information systems professionals are in top demand.

The Information Systems Department at the Sawyer Business School has developed a program that helps students develop skills in both business applications and information technologies. We prepare our students to tackle rapidly-changing dynamics in the field.

Suffolk IS students learn conceptual and hands-on skills in preparation for challenging careers as computer and systems-support specialists, Web application developers, and network support and administration specialists in information systems and information technology.
