Im in UMPI

[ss20ts]

Are there a preferred technical skills in the BALS MIS degree?  For example, what computer languages and software packages would be good to know?

I have no MIS technical skills such as programming. I had to use VB and Access in the MIS minor. This may be changing with the move to Brightspace as they are making a lot of changes to classes with the move.

You'll use Word, Excel, PowerPoint for all of your classes - not necessarily in each class. You don't need anything outside of MS Office. You can get it for free through UMPI.
