Was going to school for Engineering but realized it wasn’t for me, took a break and realized SCM is what I wanted to do and your videos help a lot so just wanted to say I appreciate them!
Yes, as the labor market become more expensive in areas there will be a shift to low cost labor areas. Is it a threat to americans in IT and MIS positions? Not if they are talented and have the ability to adapt. If they are lazy and stuck in the past and reluctant to reskill then yes.
With MIS you have to take accounting classes. As a MIS major, in the jobs you’ve had, have you actually had to use accounting principles to do your job? Like examining the income statement, balance sheet etc?
Mis is more flexible and has the most job opportunities. Yes there are remote jobs for both but more remote jobs in MIS since it will give you IT opportunities.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Sounds good. I found a degree called Business and Information Management. It also combines business with technology but it doesn't have any programming classes as a requirement. It does have a Management Info Systems course as a requirement. Is this degree essentially the same as MIS?
Hi, I just discovered your page and it has been very helpful. I have a masters in SCM but I'm currently doing another masters in MIS. Please what MIS certifications would you suggest I do help me become more marketable.
I Am currently studying logistics and supply chain management. Also what tech education I need learn to survive in the industry. I think about double majoring what should I get into. Is logistic and supply chain management going to be still popular job in future or still exist in future ?
I have been trying to choose between SCM and MIS major. I'm 21 and have been in the Workforce for 3 years. I Completed a Logistics Traineeship and want to do further study in Logistics but MIS has caught my eye and now I don't know what to do. What do you think I should choose?
At Penn State, most students tend to pair these two together..... undergrad in MIS and MBA in SCM or the undergrad in SCM and MBA in MIS. You can also double major in MIS and SCM and skip the graduate work and do certs in SAP and Enterprise Resource Management which will help you get there as well.
I'm in ITS at UTD (which was formerly called MIS so it is equivalent, half business and half IT). I am really interested in working as an IT professional in the supply chain environment. There are many guided elective tracks/specializations to choose from, and I think Enterprise Systems would be perfect for my interests. IT interested me because I want to implement and maintain/troubleshoot technology for a business, and it seems as though Enterprise Systems is focused on that. The track includes Supply Chain Information Systems, Accounting Information Systems, CRM with Salesforce, and ERP. The first two classes and ERP involve using SAP S/4 HANA so I think that would help me get to where I want to be. Integrated SCM Information Systems (3 semester credit hours): This course focuses on the concept of an integrated supply chain management system and digital supply chain using SAP's S/4 HANA Enterprise Resource Planning System and the new user interface SAP Fiori using case studies and hands-on experience with SAP modules. Students will: 1) learn the elements of an ERP application, 2) understand the concepts of end-to-end supply chain management, 3) define the basic master data needed to create a supply chain plan, 4) forecast demand using several statistical methods, 5) plan inventories using MRP and re-order point techniques, 6) execute the supply chain plan through the production process, and 7) view the completed inventories after production.
Great video, seems we have a similar background, I will say the mis is better for todays careers in I.T. and Supply chain. I recommend the MIS degree and get certified in 1 or more ERP software like QAD or SAP, the latter bringing in a really nice salary. Basically the growing fields right now are Supply chain management, Data, and Logistics.
thank you for your useful content! i have a question Now i'm planning to apply to uni for MIS degreee but i have not well background about computers i mean i may not know basics of information.What do you think i should have take an extra class before it?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown thanks a lot for your answer.And also Business management and Mis the same degrees or not? if im planning to take business management i have to choose any degrees like SCM and MIS?
Both are great choice but if I would have the chance to do it all over again I would have chosen MIS and finance as I probably would have been a millionaire before 37. But this is my personal choice. You should consider what is your drive and make the decision based on your life goals.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I'm not sure how much MIS relates to finance, but I was also interested in Finance, perhaps. Were you planning on working at Wall Street or something?
i m from commerce graduation complete at 28 now thinking to make switch in which path should i go can u suggest have education gap of 6 year certificatiin n all How & from where to start...
Supply chain Graduate here, you don't have to study Supply chain to be a Logistician. Supply chain jobs like Demand planner, Operations, Procurement, Or Supply chain analyst, Supply chain analytics are more suited for Supply chain graduates. But Getting a job in Supply chain as a fresher is very difficult unless you have additional certifications or internships.
Thank you for making great content videos in your channel. I'm a fresh chemical engineering graduate from Africa with less than a year industrial experience and I intend to apply for my master's asap but I don't know the course to go for among master's in Engineering Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Analysts or Information System Management and I am also an introvert. Please can you suggest any 2 out of the courses above I should look into getting my master's in. I yearn to make a positive impact in businesses and society.
Dear Sir, I am an Electrical Engg having 4.5 Yrs of exp in Electrical projects.. Recently, I have done a small certificate programme in software (but have not worked in IT) Which one among the two would be best suited for me ? Please share your thought...
I have economics as first degree and also have International economics and trade on masters level. I have not really done well because of stagnation. But I want to take a master's or a certificate course on SCM. What will it add to my future as I am a student from Africa and willing to migrate to Europe to study it?
If you are expecting for it to be the reason you will start doing well I don't think that's the case. But what it will do is give you opportunity in a field that is very critical to all businesses.
I am working in supply chain company as a associate consultant where i had a knowledge on OMS and supply and demand planning which are related to supply chain management. My question is with the work experience in supply chain field, can i go for masters in mis rather than scm? Will i find difficulty in finding jobs after graduating in mis?
You can go for either but it depends on the ultimate goals of what you want to do long term. Choose based on where you see yourself in 10 years. And finding a job is all based on your skills, your location, the economy etc... But what I do know is that they both are great programs.
Was going to school for Engineering but realized it wasn’t for me, took a break and realized SCM is what I wanted to do and your videos help a lot so just wanted to say I appreciate them!
Thank you for this video ! I decided to get my BA in Supply chain management and my MBA in MIS.
How as that been for you, career wise?
Do you think IT or MIS jobs are more now being outsourced? Does this pose a threat to the American IT and MIS job market?
Yes, as the labor market become more expensive in areas there will be a shift to low cost labor areas. Is it a threat to americans in IT and MIS positions? Not if they are talented and have the ability to adapt. If they are lazy and stuck in the past and reluctant to reskill then yes.
With MIS you have to take accounting classes. As a MIS major, in the jobs you’ve had, have you actually had to use accounting principles to do your job? Like examining the income statement, balance sheet etc?
Yes especially with sales. Looking at a 10k comes in handy and your managerial accounting class will certainly help you with this.
So many insights, thank for sharing!
Do you think you can work in IT with a SCM major and a MIS minor?
You can but you will need certifications
Which of those two degrees is more flexible and have more job opportunities?
Are there remote jobs for both degrees?
Mis is more flexible and has the most job opportunities. Yes there are remote jobs for both but more remote jobs in MIS since it will give you IT opportunities.

My University has a degree in Computer Information Systems, Logistics and Supply Chain, BBA what are your taughts on this?
Hi, I just discovered your page and it has been very helpful. I have a masters in SCM but I'm currently doing another masters in MIS. Please what MIS certifications would you suggest I do help me become more marketable.
I would like to know as well!
Other than majoring in MIS as an undergrad what other skills should I acquire to land a high paying job?
Sharpen those communication skills and presentation skills, learn sales 😉
@@ElevateToTheUnknown could you give me a vague idea of how I can learn those?
Google toastmasters, sales training for the area you are in.
I Am currently studying logistics and supply chain management. Also what tech education I need learn to survive in the industry. I think about double majoring what should I get into.
Is logistic and supply chain management going to be still popular job in future or still exist in future ?
Yes it will. It will always be needed in the transport of goods and services

Whatever you have the most interest in. Both are great. Just commit.
Do you think it’s a smart idea to go for the MIS degree and minor in scm
I love that combination.

Thank u for ur amazing content. Am a SCM major. Should i do My Master in MIS in addition? If not what do u recommend?
I like that I'll get to travel the world as a MIS major !
MIS seems better because with supply chain management you'll have to work at a factory
Not all SCM work is in factories or distribution centers. Many have awesome office jobs and get to travel globally as well. But indeed MIS is better 😂
@@ElevateToTheUnknown very nice again. Making more money quicker out of school than most other programs too.
Supply chain management works at factories?, No they Forcast demand and optimize the production process. They don't work at factories.
@@insomniac9430 Where did he even get that? 😂
Are there any SCM certification you can recommend.
Randy the best are:
APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional certification (CSCP)
APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM)
The university I plan to transfer to has a degree in Information systems & supply chain management. Is this degree any different than MIS?
Hi Collin,
Yes it's basically the same. An IS and a Supply Chain degree is excellent. I am in supply chain now. It's a great growing industry.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown thanks for the reply! great videos man I watch all of them

Our backgrounds are very similar. Good recommendation!
What would be a good double major for MIS?
Finance, Supply Chain and others.
Can a BA Bachelor get admission of Master degree in MIS?
Yes
thank you for your useful content!
i have a question Now i'm planning to apply to uni for MIS degreee but i have not well background about computers i mean i may not know basics of information.What do you think i should have take an extra class before it?
Muhammad, you don't have to worry about knowing anything about computers. You will learn all you need in the program.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown thanks a lot for your answer.And also Business management and Mis the same degrees or not? if im planning to take business management i have to choose any degrees like SCM and MIS?
They are different degree programs.
Hi, I want to either double major in MIS+finance or MIS+GSCM, which do you think would be better?
Both are great choice but if I would have the chance to do it all over again I would have chosen MIS and finance as I probably would have been a millionaire before 37. But this is my personal choice. You should consider what is your drive and make the decision based on your life goals.

have education gap of 6 year certificatiin n all
How & from where to start...
Not sure I understand your question Ganesh.
Luckily I'm doing a double major in both LSCM and IS!
You are winning!
Really cool man. Which one do you enjoy or think is better.
Which school is offering that please?

Supply chain jobs like Demand planner, Operations, Procurement, Or Supply chain analyst, Supply chain analytics are more suited for Supply chain graduates.

Agreed...
So a BS in supply chain won’t be sufficient to get an entry role job?
Thanks for the insight i been stressing deciding between accounting or supply chain management
