Opportunities in the Information Systems Profession

Computerized information systems are established in every type of organization, in banks, insurance companies, department store chains, automobile and durable goods manufacturers, hospitals, universities, and government agencies, to name a few. (See Program Information)
Information systems professionals develop and support computerized information systems that keep all types of organizations running effectively and efficiently. The demand for information systems professionals is growing and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future since new computer and telecommunications technologies are developing rapidly. These new technologies have opened up career paths that were not in existence even a decade ago.
Career Paths

An information systems professional may work as a programmer analyst, systems analyst, telecommunications analyst, and end-user computing analyst. There are management positions in an information systems organization, such as database manager, senior analyst, project manager, chief information officer, or vice president for information systems and/or technology.
