Head of Department Message

 

 

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Business Information Systems Department (BIS). In my role as the department chairwoman, I am proud to introduce you to one of the College of Management & Technology’s departments that offers a four-year undergraduate degree program. The BIS program is well-positioned to deliver graduates that fill a gap in the marketplace in the digital transformation era.

BIS offered two four-year undergraduate degree programs: Management Information Systems (MIS) and E-Commerce. While MIS, was established in 1992 as the first MIS department in Egypt, to reflect the fact that information technology is the backbone of businesses, E-Commerce, was established in 2005 in response to the impact of the Internet on business practices, and as the first and only E-Commerce program in Egypt.

As with the rapid change in the field and the strategy of continuous improvement, BIS programs have undergone a significant evolution to currently offer a new unified BIS program with new content such as Social Media and ERP fundamentals. It allows students to choose a set of elective courses that provide advanced knowledge and hands-on skills such as ERP applications, Mobile Commerce, Software requirements, Advanced programming, HCI, Systems Thinking, Intelligent Computing, and Business Intelligence.
