Welcome to the Information Systems Program

The Information Systems Program at Carnegie Mellon University is an internationally recognized undergraduate major for students who want to design and implement effective solutions to meet organizational and management needs for information and decision support. Graduates of the Information Systems program are ideally situated to take a leading role in shaping our information-based future.

Our students are recruited by a wide range of employers: consulting firms such as Accenture, Goldman Sachs, Barclay's Capital, Ernst & Young; manufacturing firms such as Boeing, Ford Motor; banks such as Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Bank One, and leading software organizations like Google.

The Information Systems Program appeals to outstanding students with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. The flexible nature of the program encourages students to explore their own interests in a contemporary content area, such as professional communications, organizations, business and economics, and global systems.  A wide variety of elective courses, complementary second majors and minors, and accelerated masters degree programs allow Information Systems students to take advantage of the many unique educational opportunities available at Carnegie Mellon University.

Given the expanding global opportunities in software systems and services, we encourage students to consider a study abroad experience.
