INFORMATION SYSTEMS & ANALYTICS CURRICULUM


A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH

The world and society are built on systems, and quality work, data, and products
depend on the health of the processes of the systems that create them.

The Information Systems & Analytics Curriculum is all about making the world
better and shaping you into a change agent. Combined with your chosen major and
Taylor’s liberal arts foundation, the Systems Curriculum helps you connect the
dots; you will be a strong conceptual thinker and will be able to synthesize
ideas into new solutions. Because liberal arts at Taylor is steeped in Christian
theology and ethics, you will be better able to affect change in a way that
considers the needs of people and glorifies God.

You’ll take classes that teach you how to develop new systems and how to
recognize, analyze, and improve upon existing systems. Along with strengthening
your analytical, technical, and critical thinking skills, you’ll learn to make
decisions quantitatively and solve problems with technology.

Systems can be added to any major, replacing the foreign language requirements
of the Bachelor of Arts degree by adding no more than 42 credit hours (likely
less depending on the major). For example, a Music major who selects the
Information Systems & Analytics Curriculum option will graduate with a Bachelor
of Science in Music/Systems instead of a Bachelor of Arts in Music.

Want to make Systems an even more integral part of your degree? Check out the
Information Systems minor.


WHAT IS SYSTEMS?

“Systems” is not another word for programming or information technology. A
system is a complex arrangement of parts forming a whole that converts inputs to
valuable outputs. There are educational systems, cardiovascular systems,
transportation systems, supply chain systems, and many more.

People who study systems develop their problem solving abilities and analytical
thinking.They use their skills in health care, businesses, manufacturing,
education, government, and virtually every economic sector.

Each class fits within one or more of Systems’ four themes: Analysis,
Information Technology, Quality Management, and Operations. Each pillar plays a
key role in the performance of any system—whether through system design,
programming, or database management. Analytically minded students and problem
solvers can excel in Information Systems and beyond by drawing connections
between their majors’ disciplines and the systems encompassing them.


SUCCESS IS IN THE SYSTEM

Our graduates work at places like Accenture, Vera Bradley, Rockwell-Collins, and
Wal-Mart Corporate. They work on systems in areas like distribution, logistics,
customer service, design, communication, and others. Our graduates—whether they
studied Art, Mathematics, Psychology, Philosophy, Christian Ministries, or other
fields—have discovered that a strong liberal arts education coupled with strong
systems know-how is highly marketable.
