The vision of MIS at Fox is to be a worldwide leader in transformative
research and teaching on the design, use, and effects of information
technology in a digital world. In research, our mission is to produce
knowledge that fundamentally transforms the design and use of
information technology by integrating multi-disciplinary perspectives.
In teaching, our mission is to prepare a diverse and changing
population for a life-long pursuit of learning, leadership, and
success with information technology in a connected world.

MIS faculty regularly publish in top journals such as MISQ and ISR. We
are connected to industry and work on applied projects with our
network of corporate partners through the Institute for Business and
Information Technology (IBIT). The MIS department offers
undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs in information systems
including a successful required core course in MIS for all
undergraduate business students and a University-wide data science
course. MIS at Fox is a free-standing department that embraces and
demonstrates the vision of IT playing a leading role in higher
education and business. The faculty are major contributors to the
discipline, with leadership roles in major conferences, editorial
positions, and in national initiatives such as the IS Job Index and
National Cyber Analyst Challenge, as well as the annual Temple
Analytics Challenge.

The Fox School mission statement includes a focus on three driving
forces of the economy: globalization, information technology (IT), and
innovation/entrepreneurship. The Fox School is one of the few
institutions worldwide that have sustained a long-term commitment to
invest in and grow MIS.
