from both SOBACO’s and the MISRC’s research and outreach activities. The
department recently launched a full-time MS-Business Analytics program and has ambitious
plans for expanding this initiative.</p>

Department teaches courses and performs research in all areas of the
information systems discipline including IT/IS in organizations, Economics of
IS, Design and Management of Systems, Individual and Organizational Decision
Support, Knowledge Management, Social Media, and Business Analytics. There is an active doctoral program in
information systems with 11 students in residence. Carlson School faculty are
among the world’s most prolific; the latest Academic Rankings of World
Universities puts the U of M’s business and economics faculty 10<sup>th</sup>
in the world in intellectual contributions.
The IS MBA program is ranked 4th by U.S. News and World Report and the Undergraduate
program is ranked 3<sup>rd</sup>. For

position at other research universities must demonstrate an exceptional
research trajectory and a substantial record of high-impact publications as

level with a mixture of managerial and technical courses. The Department has a
core teaching presence in all programs: undergraduate, full and part-time MBA,
Masters in Business Analytics, and Executive education. There is also an
expectation of advising at the PhD level. On the research mission, faculty are
expected to develop and maintain a strong research program that contributes to
