Dear PAU MIS Undergraduate Program Candidates,
The aims of the PAU MIS Undergraduate Program are to train and educate students who can develop and manage information systems, solve problems and make decisions and have business management knowledge at a level to manage information economy businesses and bring new researchers to the academic field.

Global Examples
The Department of Management Information Systems is a department intertwined with technology. There are many departments related to management information systems in universities of developed countries with knowledge-based economies in the world. In fact, the existence of such departments is an indicator of the development of countries. In our country, the department of management information systems is very few compared to the number of existing universities.
Foreign Examples:
- Department of Management Information Systems, Eller College of Management, The University of Arizona, Arizona, USA.
- Department of Management Information Systems, Lee Business School, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA.
- Department of Management Information Systems, College of Business Administration Home, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, USA.
At the University of Alabama, which is among the top 200 universities in the world rankings in the field of social sciences (QS World University Rankings), this department includes the sciences of management, information systems, and quantitative methods (decision-making techniques). Similarly, at the University of Illinois (ULC), which is in the top 150, informatics and decision sciences are under the same department. Also at Saint Louis University, IT management and decision sciences are merged under the same department. On the other hand, Carnegie Mellon University, which is in the top 100 universities, has a faculty named the School of Information Systems & Management, which hosts these disciplines.
Collaboration with Other Departments
Management Information Systems undergraduate program is in close collaboration with Pamukkale University FEAS Departments of Business Administration, Econometrics and Political Science, and Public Administration. Minor and double major programs are conducted with these departments. Another collaboration is carried out with Pamukkale University Engineering Faculty Computer Engineering Department. With this department, joint studies are carried out both in academic and practical (technopark, projects, internships, etc.) fields. Pamukkale University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences has undergraduate programs in Business Administration, International Trade and Finance, Econometrics, Economics, Finance, Labor Economics and Industrial Relations, Political Science and Public Administration. The Management Information Systems Undergraduate Program has a positive interaction with these departments through minor programs. In addition, students from other departments within the faculty can take MIS elective courses, and MIS undergraduate students can also take elective courses from other departments. Thus, the range of courses expands and the opportunity for mutual interaction arises.
Advantages
Although there has been an increasing demand for people who have studied Management Information Systems in recent years, the number of people with this proficiency is quite low in Turkey. For this reason, it is predicted that our graduates will have many job opportunities and their income will be higher than the average income of university graduates. In addition, the subject of the undergraduate program covers almost all the industry. In our country, there is a significant need for personnel specialized in this field. The people who take this education have interdisciplinary knowledge and their productivity level is high. In our department, we have faculty members who carry out academic studies and national projects in this field, and they are studied or worked in related universities abroad.
Designation
Graduates of the MIS undergraduate program are entitled to "Management and Information Systems Specialist".
