SOP Sample for MS in Management Information System in USA

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

[APPLICANT NAME] For MS in Management Information System for FALL 2022

Since elementary school, I was always intrigued by how computers work and their inventions. My involvement and later accelerations with the science and mathematical subjects gradually prompted me to take up my under-graduation coursework in Computer Engineering. During my bachelor's, I realized that this branch contains a mixture of mathematical topics and computer subjects like Data Structures and Algorithms, Data Mining, and Visualization. The idea of digital information out in the tangible world piqued my curiosity. What drew my attention was how major companies started analyzing big data sets to gauge the customers and their product preferences and derive meaningful models.

The MIS program will help in achieving my professional objectives by focusing on technical and analytical aspects of corporate IT and technology product development, e-business and production planning, data warehousing, and business analytics. I am enthralled to comprehend this and wish to use the knowledge that I will gain from my Masters in Management Information System from [UNIVERSITY NAME] to standardize and improve the current approach used in the Data Analytics domain. My current research passion focuses on Big Data, Data Management, and Analytics.

During my under-graduation program, I got introduced to a Data Mining and Analytics subject. As a part of the curriculum, I developed a mini-project, Labor Negotiation Prediction, using Data Analytics and Visualization techniques. Eventually, I grew a strong interest in Data Science and started exploring more about this field. Further, my burning curiosity and passion propelled me to choose my Final Year Project in the Data Science Domain. I built a web application that provides a collaborative platform for users in medical education, mainly Pulmonologists or Assistants under training to determine lung disease.

This system uses data analytics, classifications, and visualizations techniques to develop the predictive model to analyze the lung disease type and severity. Alongside, we used the Flask web framework to host the web application. The application user needs to enter the general and test-related information, mainly spirometry test details to predict a better outcome. The outcome comparison for data classification algorithms like Random Forest, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, and SVM is carried out. The predictive model would then choose an algorithm with the most accuracy to depict the outcome - Lung disease type likeliness percentage and severity.

I was fascinated by this novel idea, using accurate user data from the reputed medical facilities and hospitals around [CITY] city. During my undergrad term work, I completed a basic MOOC course on Python, Android Development and Game Development. I later pursued certification in Machine Learning, Text Mining, and Data Analysis from [ONLINE PLATFORM] to acquire in-depth knowledge regarding the domain.

Besides my academic experience, I have two years and three months of work experience in the IT industry in the role of Software Engineer. Working in the IT industry has embarked and sparked in me the inclination towards the study of Data Science. The varied experiences initially shaped my career goals at my workplace in my working years. My work experience has eventually led me to identify the different opportunities that arise in a business environment, thus helping me shape my aspirations and goals.

Currently, I am working on a Data Project, which offers tailored data services and profiling solutions, including exploratory data analysis, database management, building prediction models, making wide choice emotionally supportive networks, and data-fueled services for other enterprises. My responsibilities are to analyze, manage, transform data obtained from different open data sources and build data services and pipelines for data storage, data optimization, and organization purposes. I was recently awarded a [COMPANY AWARD NAME] for my collaborative efforts to restructure data and quality.

Apart from my academics, I have enthusiastically indulged in various extracurricular activities. I was a part of an NGO named [NGO NAME] for the past two years, wherein I volunteered to tutor Science to Grade six and seven students residing in remote areas of [CITY]. Moreover, in Feb 2020, I was part of a team to coordinate and organize Annual Fest for more than twenty-five orphanages and government schools across [CITY]. My past contributions helped me receive the [AWARD NAME] for increasing the Children Involvement Index during the Covid Times in and around the [CITY] Region.

The United States has been the most significant contributor to the IT industry and follows knowledge and research-oriented approach towards education. With its emphasis on research and end-to-end analytics education, the [UNIVERSITY NAME] stands tall amongst all other universities in this domain. With a focus on experiential learning, an innovative and research-based curriculum with core subjects like Distributed Database Systems, Data Mining, Cloud Computing, and Statistical Machine Learning, an MS in Management Information System will equip me with the necessary edge to lead in this knowledge-based industry and way to improve my networking skills with a plethora of opportunities abroad.

With a master's program from a reputed university, I will realize my professional goals of working with an industrial unit contributing effectively in enhancing the methods and techniques utilized therein to assess market trends and provide realistic and valuable solutions to increase product reach and revenue. The program will help me immensely grow as a professional and person. Mindful of your challenging study programs and excellent staff, I wish to seek after my master's from your University and believe that I will add significant value to the master's program. I subsequently look forward anxiously to being an individual from your scholarly scholastic local area.
