Interdepartmental Doctoral Progam (IDP) Management Information Systems (MIS)
Seven departments throughout different colleges at Utah State University cooperate to provide comprehensive doctoral-level education. The IDP offers PhD and EdD degrees to graduate students interested in higher education, public education, or research-related careers.
The Department of Management Information Systems cooperates with other departments in offering the interdepartmental doctor of philosophy (PhD) and doctor of education (EdD). The degree is awarded by the College of Education and Human Services.
In the past this program offered specialization in a number of business education related subjects, but currently only offers specialization in management information systems.
The PhD is a research-based degree. The EdD degree is a practitioner’s degree. Both degrees require dissertations.
IDP Management Information Systems students acquire expertise in management of information systems, database design and implementation, e-commerce systems, and pursue traditional MIS research. Utah State's MIS program enables future professors to advance knowledge in these business-related disciplines.
