Computer Information Systems

Computer Information Systems is the application of technology in managing the needs of an organization

Computer Information Systems is the application of technology in managing the needs of businesses, nonprofits, and governments. Unlike Computer Science, where it focuses on designing new algorithms, Computer Information Systems focuses on using algorithms to solve problems.

Upon entering the Computer Information Systems program you will take a broad mixture of courses in Computer Science, Accounting, Business, Economics and Math. Courses include Programming, Database Management, Networks, Introduction to Business, Principles of Marketing, Macroeconomics and Elementary Statistics. Having a basic foundation on these disciplines prepares you with technical, business and communication skills to address business’ specific needs such as choosing the best technologies to operate within a business environment. The flexibility of the program allows you to take classes such as artificial intelligence and operating systems to supplement the CIS core.  We offer you opportunities to do internships, and we encourage you to pursue a second major or minor in another discipline since CIS majors are employed in every sector of the economy.

Upon leaving the program you will have the knowledge and experience to help create, implement and maintain software and procedures to service companies of all sizes.

New students entering the Computer Information Systems program expect to take a mixture of Computer Science, Business, Marketing, Economic and Math courses.
