Welcome to the Department of Accounting and Information Systems (DAIS) at the College of Business and Economics (CBE).
The Department of Accounting and Information Systems (DAIS) offers two major programs: Accounting and Management Information Systems (MIS), along with two minors: Business Analytics and Taxation (the latter offered in collaboration with the Department of Finance and Economics). The department also offers a unique 4+1 program, which allows outstanding undergraduate accounting students to begin graduate-level courses during their senior year and earn both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Accounting in just five years. In addition, the department actively supports the Ph.D. in Business Administration program by offering specializations in Accounting and MIS, and by supervising doctoral research in these areas.
Accounting is often referred to as the language of business, as it provides critical financial information to a wide range of stakeholders, including managers, investors, regulators, and policymakers. It involves the identification, measurement, and communication of financial data related to an organization's resources, their sources, and their effective utilization. Accountants play a vital role in preparing, analyzing, and interpreting financial information, making them essential contributors to strategic decision-making, financial reporting, and corporate governance.
The Management Information Systems (MIS) program equips students with the skills to leverage technology for business innovation and competitive advantage. By integrating technology into business processes, organizations can enhance stakeholder relationships, optimize operations and supply chains, improve efficiency, and generate data-driven insights for effective decision-making.
Through a combination of technical expertise, hands-on experience, and industry-relevant skills, our graduates are well-equipped to thrive in their chosen careers and contribute meaningfully to their organizations.
