This program’s objectives are to apply computer theory to business applications and to provide a strong dual knowledge foundation in technical and problem-solving skills. People-oriented career paths lead to positions as computer consultants, analysts, trainers and high-tech marketers. Alternate careers as software programmers, database managers and network administrators tie the technical skills to the support and use of computer systems.

IS majors students must earn a minimum grade of “C-” in each CS/CIS/IS course applying to their IS major.
