Minor in Global Enterprise Technology

The School of Information Studies is home to the interdisciplinary Global Enterprise Technology minor. This minor prepares students from any major to understand how one develops and manages global enterprise information systems.

Global companies in every industry today rely on large-scale information systems to conduct their business—whether that business is banking, entertainment, insurance, medical, social development, or retail. Because these enterprise technologies are so universal, students from all majors will benefit from enrolling in this 18-credit minor.

The flexible curriculum allows students from finance and technology majors to add to their current knowledge base, and enables students from the humanities and other non-technical backgrounds to develop foundational knowledge from which to build careers.

Students in the Global Tech minor will:

  • Gain an understanding of how large-scale information systems are built and managed,
  • Learn from senior leaders at JPMorgan Chase,
  • Be on the fast-track to paid internship opportunities, case competitions, and research projects through the broader Syracuse University-JPMorgan Chase Curriculum Partnership, and
  • Earn a minor that will increase marketability with future employers.

The conference was held at the Syracuse Tech Garden and awarded prizes, from cash to legal consultation to iPads. The two Syracuse University students founded Grafighters, an online fighting game where anyone's sketches can come to life, located at the Student Sandbox. Grafighters has been named the Economic Champions of 2009 by the Chamber of Commerce and the two were the winners of the 2009 Sandbox Demo Day. Grafighters also received an Orange Tree Fund award of $12,000.
The performing arts culture thrives at SU with hundreds of plays, concerts, and other shows available for students to attend or participate in each year.
