Head of Department Message

BIS currently offers two four-year undergraduate degree programs: Management Information Systems (MIS) and E-Commerce. While MIS, was established in 1992 as the first MIS department in Egypt, to reflect the fact that information technology is the backbone of businesses, E-Commerce, was established in 2005 in response to the impact of the Internet on business practices, and as the first and only E-Commerce program in Egypt.
