Introduction to Information Systems
Mark Keith, PhD
James Gaskin, PhD
Students learn how information systems drive organizational strategy, then build the hands-on skills to work with them directly: designing databases and writing SQL queries, developing programs with conditionals and loops, cleaning and processing real data, and building predictive and prescriptive models in Excel, Tableau, and Solver. The course also covers AI and practical GenAI applications, IS security, and web development fundamentals (HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap), giving students a genuinely full-stack view of how technology supports business decision-making.
Course Objective
Teach students the role of information systems in organizational strategy through hands-on activities that support business decision-making.
