The Computer Information Systems curriculum prepares students to plan, devel­op, and support computer information systems for small, mid-size, and large corporations. Besides building a solid foundation in the nuts and bolts of how computer information systems work, the program provides the business know-how and communication skills needed to administer information systems in business.

The curriculum is structured to instill business skills, information systems concepts, knowledge of information technology architecture and infrastructure, software development and programming language skills, data communications, data­base development, and a choice of electives for the student. These areas include software development, database and knowledge management, computer networks and information security, and electronic commerce. An environment is offered to students that allows them to prepare themselves for a lifetime of learning and growth in various information technology careers such as programmer, systems analyst, database administrator, knowledge systems developer, network systems administrator, electronic commerce systems developer, or information system consultant.

The program is frequently updated with the help of an industry advisory board comprised of information technology profes­sionals from major corporations and public institutions in order to keep abreast of new information technologies and business methods. The program is based on a national model curriculum developed by educators and computer professionals, endorsed by the Association for Information Technology Professionals, the Association for Computing Machinery, the Association for Information Systems, and adopted by leading universities across the nation.
