Computer Information Systems focuses on the application of computing for business and management purposes. Not only do our students learn to configure and develop software applications that are critical to the success of organizations today, they also strengthen their team, writing and presentation skills.The major combines technology and business.

The program was established in 1987 to serve students interested in the application of computing in business and management domains. It shares a core of courses with the Computer Science major program, and it is supplemented by courses offered by the Kania School of Management. The program includes a senior-year Computer Projects course, in which students undertake an original project in collaboration with a faculty mentor. The program prepares students to be information systems professionals, capable of configuring and developing software applications. Graduates are qualified to pursue advanced degrees in computing or an M.B.A.

Computer Science and Computer Information Systems students with strong undergraduate records may be accepted and dually enrolled in the graduate program in Software Engineering through the Combined Baccalaureate/Master?s degree program. Interested students are advised to contact the Software Engineering Program Director before their junior year.
