In terms of minimum qualifications, candidates should have a Ph.D. in Information Systems or a closely related discipline from an AACSB accredited university or international equivalent. Moreover, candidates across all IS research traditions will be considered based on having multiple top-tier publications and ability to teach Information Systems at the undergraduate and graduate levels (including Doctoral classes and Executive programs). To determine rank on hire, the number of top-tier publications will be considered.  Candidates who have held tenure previously at an academic institution and who have a demonstrably national reputation will be eligible for tenure on appointment, pending approval of the University Administration.



The Management Information Systems Department offers the following degrees: Ph.D., Master of Business & Technology, and BBA in MIS. In addition, the Terry College of Business offers an on-campus MBA degree, along with off-campus Executive/Professional MBA degrees. A Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) will be offered on campus starting Fall 2018.



The Management Information Systems Department is consistently ranked very highly nationally and internationally for both its programs and its scholarly productivity. For example, the most recent ranking of USA Today College (2016) ranks the undergraduate MIS program 8th in the nation. On the research front, the UT Dallas ranking of research productivity ranks the University of Georgia 11th in North America for overall research in MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research in the past five years. Faculty hold editorial positions at the premier information systems journals, and current and emeritus faculty include multiple AIS Fellows and an AIS Leo Award winner.
