Ok great - well, from my experience, there are a ton of business positions that will place you in an analyst role of some sort where you would be heavily utilizing Excel, but not really doing any serious programming. Then there are obviously pureplay programming positions at software companies but that doesn’t seem to be exactly what you’re indicating. If you’re looking to do a half technical half soft skills route (similar to what I’m doing actually), then I honestly think either one of those would work for you. The vast majority of employers won’t really know/care exactly what the difference between ‘management information systems’ and ‘business data analytics’ is. So, it really more comes down to the overlap between classes and seeing if there are particular classes/teachers that would be useful to you.
If there’s a specific company you have in mind for any of those positions, it would be best to try to talk to someone from that company and get their opinion or see if there’s a lack thereof as I would expect.
