Can I get a Masters in Information Systems Management

Can I get a Masters in Information Systems Management?
I am trying to transfer into this program, and they are considering my request, but I am en economics undergrad major and so I worry whether I will be able to handle the coursework. I have looked at the curriculum, and the courses seem to be mostly learning about databasing, some object-based programming, and learning to use Oracle... It's all challenging, but it's not rocket science... So, do you think I can handle it? My real question is... If I'm learning how to use Oracle, and this is a TOP Master's program in this field, then what exactly are undergraduate informations systems majors learning? I mean... it almost seems like, looking at the coursework, that I CAN handle the Masters... But I am wondering why that is so. How is it that I have only taken one programming course, and feel I can handle this Masters? Is a Masters in Information Systems Management more of a business/technology fusion, but NOT really a super technical major? *Any* input on this would help, because I need to make my decision. Thank you!

A degree in MIS is more of a merging of the business and the technical. Many MIS graduates go on to become Data Analysts. An MIS major is usually not the Database Administrator responsible for the technical administration of a system - you want a Computer Science graduate for that. An MIS major is more often the "Super-User" embedded in the business unit. They set data standards for their area, make sure that the system is configured properly for the needs of the business unit, etc. They should be able to write complex reports using Crystal/SQL, etc., but not typically anything more "hardcore" than that. So, it is a technical degree, but not technical enough that you'd find yourself qualified to work in an IT shop as a developer, engineer, or dba. And, yes, if you are a UG Economics major (economics would seem to indicate that you are decent at math?) who is technically-minded, you should be able to handle it. Good luck!!
