Computer Information Systems Bachelor of Science degree
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (CIS) degree is available with two options (tracks):
- Systems Development (SD)
- Systems Management (SM)
Both options contain a common core of fundamental courses in computer information systems with essential emphasis on business systems development, practice, and applications. Further, courses in the SD track prepare graduates for careers in information systems design and development for typical businesses and commercial computing sectors. The SM track prepares graduates for management and utilization of information systems and technology.
Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (CIS) (63 credit hours)
The degree program prepares graduates for careers in two major areas: systems development and systems management. The major in Computer Information Systems helps students acquire knowledge and gain expertise in all important aspects of the development, use, and management of (business) information systems. As part of the program, majors learn about: computer hardware, software, and information technology (IT) tools; information systems analysis and design methodologies; data and telecommunications technologies; information (systems and projects) management.
