The Department of Computer Information Systems

The top-ten ranked Department of Computer Information Systems (CIS) within the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University is one of the strongest information systems departments in the world. In 2008, both the department’s undergraduate (ranked 7th in the nation) and graduate programs (ranked 10th in the nation) were the top in the Southeast and among the top-ten computer information systems departments in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.  There are 20 full-time faculty with doctorates from such schools as Harvard, M.I.T., Cornell, Indiana, Minnesota, and other prominent universities, many of whom hold endowed chairs or professorships.

In the spring of 2008, there were 342 undergraduate students majoring in computer information systems, 80 masters students (both MBA and M.S.), and 20 doctoral students pursuing their Ph.D. degrees in information systems. Because the programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels focus on leading-edge topics, Georgia State information systems graduates are much in demand. 

Because of the breadth and excellence of the CIS Department, it has received considerable recognition over the years including a $2 million grant from IBM and top rankings both in U.S. News & World Report and Computerworld

In 2006, Sandra and Douglas Bergeron created a one-million dollar scholarship for Georgia State University to provide educational assistance to high-potential women seeking careers in technology leadership.

The department’s MBA concentration and major earned the Robinson College of Business recognition as a top 25 “Techno MBA Program” in a Computerworld survey. 

The CIS Department at Georgia State has earned recognition as one of the top programs in the world in terms of leading-edge research productivity based on a study published in the Academy of Management Journal that focused on research publications in the most prestigious journals in the information systems field.

The Department has close links with the Atlanta business community. A Board of Advisors, comprised of CIOs from many large Atlanta-based firms, provides counsel and advice to the Department on its teaching and research programs.  Each December, the Department sponsors the CIO Executive Summit, which attracts nearly 200 CIOs from around the Southeast. 

Since 1997, the CIS Department, has been the official administrative home of both the Association for Information Systems (AIS) and the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). AIS is the leading society for information systems academics and ICIS is the premier IS research conference in the world.
