Information​ ​Systems

Korshub take

University of Minnesota's information systems specialization has reached nearly 58,000 learners, aiming at a specific gap: managers who need to make good technology decisions without being the ones implementing them.

It's set at the beginner level, so no IT background is assumed — the focus is on governance and judgment, not code or architecture.

What it covers

• IT management, governance, and technology strategy
• Project and portfolio management for technology investments
• Risk management, risk analysis, and change management
• Financial analysis and return on investment for IT decisions

It suits managers, business analysts, and anyone stepping into an IT-adjacent leadership role who needs to evaluate technology investments credibly — less about how to build it, more about deciding if it's worth building.
