It provides students with an understanding of the functions of information systems in organizations and detailed knowledge of information system analysis, design, and operation.
The Carlson School Honors program offers students access to a richer undergraduate experience. Honors students have closer contact with their professors. They work in smaller classes and they put their skills to work for the benefit of the community. The program requires hard work and a strong commitment to learning.
