Department of Special Education

Management Information Systems (MIS) is a major that introduces students to the computerized systems designed to serve managers in an organization. Management information systems, or what is known as a combination of information technology and management, aim to build technological computer systems that work to help the various institutions carry out their work as well as possible to achieve the best competitive advantage. The department offers an integrated study plan of (132) credit hours that includes courses in various fields at the faculty and department levels and aims to prepare qualified students in management information systems and the operation and management of management information systems in various institutions of the public and private sectors. The establishment of the Department of Management Information Systems at the Faculty of Finance and Business coincided with the establishment of the university at the beginning of the academic year 2008–2009. As this department was affiliated with the Department of Management from an administrative point of view, it was carefully designed to provide graduates with the technical and administrative knowledge and skills necessary to analyze, design, develop, apply, and manage information and information systems in institutions, and thus grant them a bachelor's degree in the field of management information systems. At the beginning of the academic year 2012–2013, the department was separated administratively and became an independent department within the faculty. The department currently has four faculty members who hold a doctorate degree and two who hold a master’s degree. The number of students in the department reached (274) bachelor’s students at the beginning of the first semester of 2020–2021. The department has a group of modern computer laboratories designed to provide the student with applied skills that are used in teaching programming languages such as: (C++, C#, HTML, Oracle Developer 10g, and Android by JAVA) .and the use of supporting software that helps in managing and analyzing projects, databases, networks, information security, and other applied materials.
