The computer information systems major is a combination of the computer science major in the College of Arts and Sciences and the MIS (management information systems) option in the School of Business Administration. The major provides a less theoretical and more applied curriculum than the computer science major, taking advantage of some applied courses in MIS.
The first two years of the curriculum are similar to the computer science major. The last two years of the curriculum introduce the student to advanced MIS courses and allow the student to focus on a number of areas in information systems through the CSCI/MIS electives.
The major prepares students to design, build, and maintain computer information systems. Graduates of the major can gain employment as systems and network analysts and database and network administrators. Please refer to the computer science curriculum for a detailed description of the computing facilities.
