MGT403 Introduction to BSM/BSMIS

The BSM/BSMIS is one of the few degree programs that focuses on "management" of information systems. It is taught both online and in the classroom, but either way, students must have a certain comfort level with computers. It is essential that the student has the computer and other skills required to successfully complete the program. Since many of you have been out of school for awhile, this course is intended to ease you back into school. It will orient you to the program and serve as an introduction to required skills. Among required skills are: web search strategy, use of the NLU online learning platform, adult learning philosophy, group dynamics, conflict resolution, behavioral style, time management, stress management, and use of NLU's online library. Writing skills will also be measured. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the BSM or BSMIS program One quarter hour
