Continuing education needs of board members, administrators, and health care personnel.
Our society is becoming more aware of the basic fact that education is a lifelong process. The dynamic world in which we live requires that we continually update our knowledge and skills. Educational institutions that have traditionally viewed their mission as one of providing a sequence of courses leading to a specific degree are now expanding their role to include postgraduate nondegree offerings. The MIS area certainly ranks high among those fields that have a dynamic characteristic. Institutions with particular academic strength in this area can provide a needed service--and at the same time create a market niche for themselves--by developing and presenting continuing education programs in the area of MIS.
