• The C&IS program has a unique focus in applied computing and information systems. Rather than concentrating on theoretical computing (as many computer science programs do) or being limited to simple administration of information systems (as most MIS programs are), this program concentrates on the key applications of computing in the real world.
  • Youngstown State University's Department of Computer Science and Information Systems offers a one year master's degree in Computing and Information Systems
  • Students focus in applied computing and information systems
  • The program is interdisciplinary in nature to allow students, with a background in areas other than information systems, to learn how to ap­ply information systems fundamentals to those areas. Therefore, the program also supports a significant number of interdisciplinary courses, which allows students to take elective courses outside of the department.
  • This program includes:
    • Large-scale design of information systems
    • Database design
    • Computer networking
    • Web development
    • Data mining
    • Cloud computing
    • Application development
    • Computer security
