Specifically, OSU professors are going to introduce their Management Information Systems major. “The MIS degree prepares students for technical as well as managerial careers in information technology,” says OSU Regents Professor Ramesh Sharda who heads the Institute for Research in Information Systems in the Spears School.   “The 4-year degree is somewhat similar to BCA/MCA degrees offered in India, with a stronger emphasis in technical skills such as database management, systems analysis and design, data mining, and enterprise systems,” adds Sharda.  “Students have the opportunity to specialize in information security, data mining, and other current topics.”

OSU is inviting high school students, their parents, and consultants to join them Jan. 23 at 6 p.m. in Bangalore at Hotel Monarch, Brigade Road, or on Jan. 26 at 1 pm in Hyderabad at Hotel Novotel.  Sharda and Dr. Mark Weiser, associate dean of the Spears School will be on hand to answer students’ questions along with Dr. Nik Dalal, a professor of MIS from OSU who is in Bangalore this year,  They will also be joined by Mr. Brandon Wulz, an OSU/MIS alum who is in Hyderabad currently on assignment at the local Deloitte & Touche office.

OSU has been recognized as one of America's Best College Buys in the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings. The Princeton Review has also named OSU as one of the best higher educational institutions in the western United States. OSU’s Spears School of Business is accredited by AACSB, one of only about 300 such schools out of the thousands of business schools worldwide.

Stillwater, OSU’s hometown, has been ranked one of the lowest cost college towns in the U.S.   Students are allowed to work on campus to defray some of their costs.  Merit-based financial aid may also be available to selected students.  The total cost of attendance at OSU may be about the same as that of a private college in India.
