MIS VS CS

If you are reading this article, then you must be interested in the world of technology so you probably know that there are three broad areas: computer science, information technology, and information systems.

Management Information Systems (MIS)

Both degrees are likely to share mutual content however MIS degrees usually include a lot more business modules. The students study a wide range of business courses in order to learn how a business works. Further, they stratify this knowledge to help businesses to get the most from their information. In short, MIS spotlights on both business processes and information technology. Like CS, MIS students do learn programming but in an organization they are solicitude with designing a database system to be used by a business rather than creating the software to create a database system.

 An MIS student is one who is interested to work with business and technology! Therefore, after studying MIS, you can work as a business analyst, systems engineer, systems architect, software testing engineer, and other similar positions.

Computer Science (CS)

As for CS, it is the study of computer technology, both hardware and software. It is concerned with the creation of programs that tell a computer what to do. Usually when you hear the term CS, you assume that it is all about programming! Well just to remind you, yes you do learn how to write programs but this is only one element of the field. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software. CS students take several math and science courses as theoretical background for their major. These courses allow them to devise new ways to use computers or develop effective ways in solving computing problems.
