Courses in the information systems major teach students how to bridge the gap between the business and technology needs of an organization, from creating an online presence for a company, to marketing products using social media, to transforming conceptual ideas into working prototypes. The curriculum offers a blend of technology training and business skills to ensure graduates are immediately able to navigate both ends of their organization’s operations.
Courses within the Information Systems major are designed to understand computer science and management, and bridge the gap between the two.

The practice core at Stevens is where you’ll apply the skills you’ve learned in real business simulations, culminating in the Stevens Innovation Expo. For your expo project, you'll work in teams to either pursue a startup business concept of your creation, or work with executives at a New York-area business on a real-world consulting project.
