Information systems are vital to companies in every industry around the globe-from banking to retail to medicine. Beginning this semester, Syracuse University students in any major can increase their marketability through a unique, interdisciplinary minor in global enterprise technologies (GET).

The minor was developed by SU faculty with support from JPMorgan Chase senior leaders through the Syracuse University/JPMorgan Chase Collaboration.

Enrollment is currently under way for the 18-credit minor, which consists of nine credits worth of required courses-“Enterprise Technologies” (IST 439), “Effective Collaboration in a Globally Distributed Enterprise” (GET 234) and “Business Value of IT” (MIS/IST 365)-which focus on how large-scale information systems are built and managed. An additional nine credits worth of electives can be chosen from several new and enhanced courses.

Students will also have opportunities to participate in internships, multiple work experiences and research projects through the SU/JPMorgan Chase Collaboration. JPMorgan Chase senior leaders will be engaged with students through classroom lectures and internships.

“The GET minor is unique for a number of reasons, but there are two that are especially important to us,” says Robert Heckman, senior associate dean in SU’s School of Information Studies (iSchool). “First, it deeply integrates the classroom and the world of practice in a way that would be impossible without the close collaboration of a corporate partner like JPMorgan Chase.

“Second, the GET minor is designed to complement majors in the liberal arts and sciences. Students can combine the benefits of practice-based professional experience with the communication and critical thinking skills they develop in an arts and sciences education,” Heckman says.

For more information on the GET minor, contact Elaine Morgan, director of academic advising and counseling in the iSchool, at 443-1830 or eemorgan@syr.edu.
