Computer Information Systems - B.S.
Requirements for CIS
The CIS major is designed as an applied major. Each student majoring in CIS takes a core of common courses, plus approved elective courses. Additionally, each student selects and completes a companion track in a complementary discipline. At present, designated tracks include business, communications, computer graphics, and Internet development. Additionally, a student may elect an independent track in another appropriate discipline and work with an academic advisor from that department to design a set of supporting courses in support of a CIS major.
