The management of information as a resource will be the key to success in the next century. To manage this resource, efficient and effective methods for collection, maintenance and use of data must be established. This certificate exposes students to the managerial and technological concerns in the planning of more effective transaction processing and/or decision support systems. Students must complete 18 hours as specified below. In addition, if they have not had the equivalent of
