B.Sc. Management Information Systems

Management Information Systems (MIS) sits at the crossroads of business and computing. It prepares you to understand how organisations use data, software, and people to solve problems and make better decisions. Ashesi University offers this degree under its Computer Science & Information Systems department, and admits students from a wide range of SHS backgrounds.

What you'll actually study and why it matters

In an MIS programme, you typically learn how information systems are designed, built, and managed within organisations. That means introductory programming, database design, networking, and cybersecurity, alongside business subjects like accounting, management, and strategy. The key skill is seeing how technology and business processes connect, so you can help a company use the right tools to work more efficiently and make smarter decisions.

How competitive is a place at Ashesi?

This programme is less competitive than some other computing programmes, but that does not mean it is easy to get into. You will still need to meet Ashesi's general admission requirements, and your results in WASSCE are what matter most. The university accepts students from Business, General Arts, General Science, and Visual Arts backgrounds, so there is a path for you no matter which of those you studied. Check the specific grade requirements to see if your results meet the bar.

What you can do after graduation

Graduates of MIS often move into roles where they bridge the gap between technical teams and business needs. Common jobs include systems analyst, business analyst, IT consultant, and project manager. Some go into data analysis or enterprise resource planning, while others start their own technology ventures. The combination of business and computing skills makes it a flexible degree for many industries in Ghana and abroad.
