Information Entrepreneurship Career Track
MSIS Advising Sheet
Overview
An information entrepreneur is one who starts a new venture to create value with information, armed
with knowledge of information technologies, and knowledge of how to launch and grow a successful
enterprise. Google, Amazon, and Twitter are three examples of information entrepreneurship in action.
The MSIS program is an ideal degree from which to launch a career as an information entrepreneur
because of its focus on those core areas.
The MSIS Career Track starts with the Business Core courses required for all MSIS students to develop a
general understanding of business concerns. It continues with courses from the MSIS Technology
requirement and the MSIS Management & Analytics requirement so students may gain deeper
knowledge of issues specific to information as an asset, information systems, and information
technologies. Students then select courses from the Entrepreneurship Career Track, which includes
offerings from a variety of disciplines to further develop their entrepreneurial and managerial
competencies. The MSIS Entrepreneurship Career Track is ideal for any graduate business students who
seek a career in building and selling successful companies with competitive strategies focused on
creating value with information.
