Dr. Larry West will be giving the presentation for the MIS Department. He will have 5 minutes to present to the full Board of Trustees.

The B.O.T. Educational Programs Committee voted to approve the Administration’s recommendations and move forward with the proposed department deletions including the UCF MIS Department. Monday was a very somber day for many. The meeting agenda can be found here http://bot.ucf.edu/documents/July13EPCMeetingREVISED.pdf
We are proposing to the BOT a department merger similiar to FSU has done with their general management degree. More information can be found on the FSU MIS website http://cob.fsu.edu/mis/.
We still need everyone to continue to reach out to the Board of Trustees (BOT) in anyway possible, the final hearing for the proposed program deletions to be finalized is on July 23. We received a response after filling out this contact form and suggest everyone to do the same http://bot.ucf.edu/contact.html.
We hope to build a bond with the UCF MISA in the next upcoming months to maintain a strong MIS presence in the central florida area for years to come. Good luck everyone and please continue to show your support for the UCF MIS Department.
