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. For more
