MIS专业在美国的高就业率，使得MIS专业成为中国留美学生申请的热门专业之一。MIS ( Management Information Systems ) 集管理科学、信息科学、系统科学及计算机科学为一体，主要研究企业信息管理活动的全过程，以便提供有效的管理信息和各类决策信息，辅助企业进行现代化管理。

美国大学MIS专业是属于商科与计算机科学的交叉学科，因而有些学校的该专业是商学院和计算机学院合办的；也有部分学校将该专业设置在商学院，有的学校则设置在工学院。由于所属学院的不同，研究侧重的方向也有所不同。申请者在申请的时候可以根据自己的兴趣来选择院校以及研究方向。

美国大学MIS的教育主要涉及以下一些专业领域：

  • 信息系统(Information Systems )：包括Data Communication, Database, Programming Language, Client / Server Computing, System Analysis and Design等内容。
  • 管理科学：包括Mathematical Programming, Optimization, Operation Research等内容。
  • 生产运营管理：包括Decision Theory, Organization Theory等内容。
  • 统计学(Statistics )
  • 其它专业领域：包括 Marketing, Finance, Management, Accounting, Business Law, Economics 等。

在申请要求方面：GPA最低要求是3.0，申请名校建议是有3.5+；大多数院校对于语言的要求是托福在90以上，部分院校商学院下的该专业对于语言要求较高，一般建议是托福100+/雅思7.0+；部分学校GRE和GMAT成绩都接受或者有些院校两者选一，一般建议是GRE315+/GMAT700+。对于申请者的背景要求，不同院校要求不一样，建议最好是有计算机背景；申请者如果有一定的工作经验，在申请中会比较占优势。
