ISOM faculty are young and progressive, with more than 50 percent of our faculty receiving their Ph.D.'s in the past 10 years. MIS and OPS concentrations require innovative faculty who stay current in their fields.

Students are encouraged to join two different professional student clubs: the Society of Information Systems (SIMS) and / or the Student Operations Management Association (SOMA)
