Gonzaga School of Business Administration
The MIS discipline at Gonzaga: the curriculum, the course check, and the answers students ask for most.
What changed, how the new concentrations work, and what it means if you started on the older catalog.
gu-mis.pages.dev/curriculum/Five questions, then the courses you need. Graduating this year? It also gives you the substitutions to file.

catalog.gonzaga.edu ↗Includes the Course Substitution Form.
my.gonzaga.edu ↗Your degree evaluation has the final word. If something doesn't fit, book a time with Dr. Correia.
Your catalog year is listed on your degree evaluation. The course check works this out for you and lets you correct it.
The 2026–27 catalog doesn't yet match the updated curriculum. We're correcting it, and the course check shows what to take in the meantime.
If you're graduating by summer 2027, run the course check; it will tell you if you need a form.
Take BMIS 301 in place of BMIS 331, and BMIS 302 in place of BMIS 441.
BMIS 444 is no longer taught. The course check tells you which course fills that line for you. Degree Works may not show it right away.
BMIS 342, BMIS 489 or BMIS 447 (Tentative Fall 2027) all fill this line.
That's the older catalog. On the 2026–27 catalog, BMIS 342 counting toward MIS needs a Course Substitution Form, and only if you're graduating by summer 2027.
Run the course check. It marks every requirement done, needs a form, or still to take, and gives you the wording for each substitution.
Put those on a Course Substitution Form and send it to Dr. Correia at correia@gonzaga.edu. If anything doesn't fit, book a time.
It needs a Course Substitution Form. File it after spring registration; it doesn't affect registering for classes.
Send it to Dr. Correia at correia@gonzaga.edu.
Only if you're graduating by summer 2027. Everyone else has nothing to file: register for the courses the course check lists and we'll handle the rest.
No rush either way. File it after spring registration closes; it doesn't affect registering for classes.
The 2026–27 catalog doesn't yet match the updated curriculum, and Degree Works is built from it. We're correcting it, and the course check shows what to take in the meantime.
If Degree Works shows something you can't explain, send a screenshot, your student ID and one sentence describing the problem to Dr. Correia at correia@gonzaga.edu.
Yes, and it comes to 24 credits: the full 15-credit Business Analytics concentration plus 9 unique MIS credits. Only one course, BMIS 301, can count toward both concentrations. Every other requirement needs its own course.
Business Analytics takes BMIS 301, 302, 342, 445 and ECON 355. For MIS, BMIS 301 counts again, and you add three more MIS courses. At least one must be BMIS 489 or BMIS 447. The other two can be any of BMIS 443, 445, 447, 489 or an eligible discipline elective, as long as you haven't already used it for Business Analytics.
Pick “Both” in the course check and it lists the rest. If you're on the older catalog, book a time with Dr. Correia.
No. The MIS minor can't be combined with the MIS concentration or with the Business Analytics concentration. Pick the one your degree evaluation lists.
They count for students in the matching program. BFIN 324 for the Finance concentration, ACCT 311 for the Accounting major or the Accounting minor, and MKTG 421 for the Marketing major or the older Marketing concentration.
No advisor approval is needed. The course check only offers you the ones you're eligible for.
Send it to Dr. Correia at correia@gonzaga.edu.
No rush. File it after spring registration closes; it doesn't affect registering for classes. Book a time if you'd rather walk through it first.
Any section of BMIS 489 Special Topics in MIS, whatever the topic. Topics are announced each semester.
BMIS 447 (Tentative Fall 2027). It isn't on the schedule yet, so plan around BMIS 489 or a Group 2 course if you need an MIS elective sooner.
Send them to the MIS course check. It asks when they graduate, what they're doing in MIS and what else they study, then tells them what to register for.
If they're graduating by summer 2027, or if anything doesn't fit, send them to Dr. Correia at correia@gonzaga.edu or his booking page. You don't need to work out MIS or Business Analytics substitutions yourself.
