Computer Information Systems

Bachelor of Science - 120 credits

The Computer Information Systems Bachelor of Science degree is designed to give students a broad range of computer skills in both the microcomputer and mini/mainframe environments. Students will learn to work with management and users to analyze information needs and determine ways in which computer systems can be used to meet those needs. Solid problem solving and communication skills are a must. Students will choose between five specialties; Programming, Web Design, Web Development, Database Management, and Global Project Management. It is highly recommended that all students use open electives to complete more than one specialty.
