With a major in computer information systems, students will complete a strong core of computer science courses, as well as selected courses in the School of Business Administration. They may choose electives from either and will receive a bachelor of science degree upon graduation. Computer information systems majors often choose to add a minor in business administration to their degree program.
By choosing to major in computer information systems, students can develop expertise in systems analysis, software development and software engineering, web application development, networking, database development or computer security. The department provides an emphasis on both theory and application of new computer technologies and encourages a hands-on experience, both in and out of the classroom. Computer information systems majors are also encouraged to pursue internships and may receive course credit for the successful completion of an internship.
