Information Systems graduates understand both technology and business and are prepared to bridge the gap between technical and business professionals. Students develop knowledge of information systems, software development, data and analytics, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies while also building a foundation in business principles and organizational processes. They learn to evaluate organizational needs, communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders, and apply technology to create meaningful business solutions. This integration of technical and business knowledge reflects BYU's aim of intellectually enlarging education by helping students connect knowledge across disciplines and apply what they learn to complex, real-world problems. It also supports BYU Marriott's mission to develop leaders of faith, intellect, and character and its commitment to Excellence. Information Systems students are prepared not simply to understand technology, but to exercise sound judgment in determining how technology should be used to improve organizations and serve people. As they develop the ability to listen to different perspectives, communicate across professional boundaries, and responsibly apply their knowledge, students are better prepared to become Christlike leaders who use their professional capabilities to make a positive difference in organizations and society.

Information Systems graduates are prepared to create, deploy, secure, maintain, and manage the technology systems, infrastructure, resources, and services upon which modern organizations depend. Students develop the technical knowledge needed to understand how organizational technologies work together and the ability to make informed decisions about their design, implementation, security, reliability, and ongoing management. They learn to evaluate technical alternatives in light of organizational needs and to manage technology as a critical resource that supports people, processes, and organizational objectives. This combination of technical competence and responsible technology management reflects BYU's aim of intellectually enlarging education by requiring students to analyze complex systems, integrate knowledge from multiple technical areas, and apply that knowledge to real organizational challenges. It also supports BYU Marriott's mission to develop leaders of faith, intellect, and character and its values of Integrity in Action and Excellence. Information Systems professionals are entrusted with organizational data, systems, and resources that affect employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Students therefore learn that managing technology requires more than technical ability; it requires sound judgment, responsible stewardship, integrity, and a commitment to creating secure and reliable systems that serve others. These capabilities prepare graduates to become Christlike leaders who use technology responsibly to strengthen organizations and positively influence the people and communities they serve.

Information Systems graduates are prepared to make informed business and technical decisions and solve complex, unstructured problems in rapidly changing environments. Students learn to identify and frame problems, gather and evaluate relevant information, analyze alternatives, consider technical, organizational, ethical, and human implications, and make well-reasoned decisions even when information is incomplete or circumstances are uncertain. They develop the ability to adapt their thinking as technologies, organizations, and business environments change and to clearly communicate and defend the reasoning behind their decisions. This emphasis on critical thinking, adaptability, and sound judgment reflects BYU's aim of intellectually enlarging education by preparing students to think clearly, reason effectively, and continue learning throughout their lives. It also supports BYU Marriott's mission to develop leaders of faith, intellect, and character and its values of Integrity in Action, Respect for All, and Excellence. Information Systems professionals frequently make decisions that affect organizations, employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Students therefore learn to consider not only what technology makes possible, but what represents a responsible and appropriate course of action. By considering evidence, differing perspectives, ethical consequences, and the needs of those affected by their decisions, students develop the intellectual and moral judgment necessary to lead with integrity and use their professional capabilities to serve others. These capabilities prepare graduates to become Christlike leaders who approach difficult decisions with humility, integrity, respect for others, and a commitment to excellence.

Information Systems graduates are prepared to be lifelong learners who continually develop their knowledge, skills, and professional capabilities. Because technologies, business practices, and organizational needs evolve rapidly, students learn how to independently acquire new knowledge, evaluate emerging technologies and ideas, seek and respond to feedback, and adapt their skills to unfamiliar problems and changing professional environments. Students develop curiosity, intellectual humility, and the confidence to recognize when they need to learn something new and the discipline to pursue that learning throughout their lives. This commitment to continued growth reflects BYU's aim of lifelong learning and service, which encourages graduates to continue learning and use that learning to benefit their families, professions, communities, and society. It also supports BYU Marriott's mission to develop leaders of faith, intellect, and character and its value of Excellence. Information Systems professionals cannot rely solely on the knowledge and technologies they encounter during their university education; they must continually improve their capabilities while thoughtfully evaluating how new technologies should be used. Lifelong learning also requires humility-the willingness to recognize the limits of one's knowledge, learn from others, consider new perspectives, and adapt when better information becomes available. By developing habits of continual learning, reflection, and improvement, graduates are prepared to remain professionally capable while becoming Christlike leaders who use their expanding knowledge and abilities in the service of others throughout their lives.
