 Return to: College of Undergraduate Studies (Traditional; CUS)
The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Computer Information Systems is designed for students seeking careers as information systems professionals. The CIS major emphasizes practical application of classroom learning through individual and group lab experiences as well as praxis projects with real-world clients. With a strong emphasis on technology solutions for business, the CIS major offers a distinctive balance between technical challenges and managerial issues. CIS majors master the standard business core courses in addition to their technical skills. Technological emphasis is placed on a variety of modern programming languages, data structures, distributed data processing, database management, networks and data communications, and information systems organization and design. Each CIS course is intended to prepare students to take a specific industry recognized certification exam covering the topics taught in that course.
