ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT  

The CIS Department is consistently ranked as a top department both in terms
of its programs and research. The department’s undergraduate program was
recently ranked # 8 and its graduate program was ranked # 11 in the nation
by US News & World Report. Additionally, the department consistently ranks
among the best in the world in terms of research productivity based on
publications in MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research. The
department faculty recently received a multi-million-dollar grant from the
National Science Foundation for cybersecurity workforce preparation in the
age of artificial intelligence.

 

The Department of Computer Information Systems’ vision is to be a world
leader in advancing knowledge in the IS discipline. The department has a
rich history of leading cutting-edge research topics and converting that
knowledge into world-class academic programming. Consistent with the
Robinson College’s new strategic plan, Accelerate 2025, the department’s
future is to build on these strengths by recruiting and integrating
outstanding faculty that will allow us to continue to address business
problems and phenomena while expanding to investigate high-stakes societal
challenges. 

 

Georgia State University (GSU) is a leading urban research university
located in the heart of Atlanta. It is the largest university in Georgia
with 54,000 students. It continues to lead the state and nation in
graduating economically and racially diverse students on time and at a
reasonable cost. Pell-eligible students and many first-generation college
students represent 58% of GSU’s undergraduate student population. GSU has
earned national and international recognition for its data-oriented approach
to student support, retention, and success including being ranked as the
third most innovative university in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. 

 

With more than 9,000 students and 170 faculty members, the Robinson College
of Business (RCB) is among the largest accredited business schools in the
United States with a student body that is one of the most diverse in the
country. Fifty-six percent of RCB undergraduates are under-represented
minorities. According to the most recent edition of Diverse Issues in
Education, the Computer Science and CIS Departments rank 4th nationally
conferring bachelor’s degrees in computer science and information systems to
African Americans and 14th to Asian Americans. The opportunity to change the
face of the technology industry by inviting groups historically excluded
into this the economic sector is tremendous. 

 

The college is highly ranked in many areas. Robinson’s flagship Part-time
MBA program is ranked among the best by Bloomberg Businessweek and U.S. News
& World Report. Its Executive MBA is considered by Financial Times to be
among the top 20 programs in the United States and one of the world’s
premier programs. 

 

Robinson’s size and legacy of excellence make it one of the most influential
business schools in the country. According to Standard & Poor’s, more
Georgia executives hold graduate degrees from Robinson and Georgia State
than any other college or university in the country. The college’s location
in the middle of Atlanta provides easy access to 16 Fortune 500 companies
and 30 Fortune 1000 companies headquartered in the Atlanta metropolitan
area, offering excellent opportunities for research, student job placement,
and fundraising. 

 

Using its previous and current strategic plan, Accelerate 2025, as guides,
Robinson is extending its perspectives and competencies into new areas –
computer science, statistics, engineering, science, and technology – and
integrating them into the core activities of the business school. These
strategic investments and the resulting initiatives have advanced the
college towards its vision of faculty and students creatively designing
implementable strategies that address real-world challenges and transform
our industry partners in Atlanta and globally.

 

Atlanta’s reputation as the economic capital of the Southeast is well
established, and the region is now rapidly developing as a tech hub. Venture
capitalist Leura Craig recently was quoted saying, “We think that the
Southeast and especially Atlanta has the opportunity to become a key hub for
tech startups in the next 5 years. It feels a lot like Los Angeles five
years ago. Covid dramatically accelerated the flight from California and New
York and the Southeast’s tech scene is going to be a huge winner as a result
of this migration.”
