Great Ways to Start Off The Fall 2009 Semester

It has been a great start to our new Fall semester and I welcome all of our new and past students as they begin their classes this last week.

We are proud to say that our undergraduate program is now #1 in the U.S. World & News Report rankings which just came out this week.

The MIS Department at Eller College is one of only three institutions to maintain top-five status in the Management Information Systems business specialty since the inception of the U.S. News & World Reports rankings in 1989, the two other institutions being MIT and Carnegie Mellon. This year, our undergraduate program was ranked first among all public universities and third overall. View all of our rankings here.

In addition the MIS Department turns 35 in September and we invite you to come celebrate with us.

We have come a long way over the last 35 years. From our beginnings in 1974 to the present we have strived to be a leader of MIS education and Shape the Future of IT. We pioneered the nation's first Management Information Systems (MIS) curriculum and since then have produced over 3,700 exceptional students. In addition, our faculty has been and continues to be at the forefront of cutting edge research. Their contributions to the field have been outstanding and well recognized throughout the world.

It is with pride that we celebrate 35 years of excellence. We invite you to celebrate with us on this momentous occasion by joining us at our 35th Year Anniversary dinner to be held on December 13, 2099. The dinner will be held in conjunction to the ICIS 2009 Conference which we are hosting. View event details and registration information here.

In addition, we invite you to view the following web pages dedicated to this historic event.
