THE COMPUTER & INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CIS) degree program is designed around a core curriculum and
three distinct options. The program’s core provides a strong introduction to computer concepts, software applications, operating systems,
networking, microcomputer servicing, Internet, math, human relations and writing. To gain practical work-related experience, students also
complete 99 hours of cooperative work experience in a related setting.
CIS students may elect to complete an option in one or more
of three emphasis areas: Networking, Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), and Computer Support
Services. Students can also earn a general Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems.
The design of many
of the advanced-level applications, network-ing and CAD courses in the CIS department prepare students for industry certification. Students
are able to test for certification and assess their competence in their given emphasis.
