I am getting a degree in MIS and graduating in Spring 2010 (if I pick Finance as well). As part of graduating from the college, I had to take couple of finance classes that were interesting to me and now I am considering a minor in Finance. I am wondering if it will be any useful or is getting a minor has any value at all? I am also thinking of minoring in Finance because I think it is a good back up if in case I do not get any job in MIS. I talked to advisers at my school but they aren't much of a help, talked to couple different ones and they all have varied response so I am extremely confused and will highly appreciate your replies. Thank you.

It won't help you in MIS, but if you are interested in finance then take the classes (if it doesn't delay your graduation).

I was wondering the same thing because my school offers a shortened MIS concentration if you concentrate in finance. They also do this with accounting.

So...not to steal the thread but will it be beneficial to study MIS and accounting as well

thanks

yeah but i m not into accounting as much as finance. plus it seems like i would like to work as an analyst or under writer in finance than be an accountant if i can't get a job with MIS

Only if you are interested in becoming an IT Auditor (Big 4). Otherwise, there isn't much value in it. Some schools offer a Accounting Information Systems degree which is essentially a combination of Accounting and MIS, just for this purpose.
