¹The Computer Information Systems (CIS) and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) majors are being phased out, students in these majors can decide to finish or change over to the new Management Information Systems (MIS) major, introduced Fall 2016. To allow for more quick comparisons, a subtotal combining CIS/EIS/MIS has been added.
²The Professional Writing and Technical Communication degree is being phased out, and students in this program can decide to finish it or change over to the new Technical Communication degree.
In cases of reorganization at the university, the prior years’ information is also listed with the current structure to allow easier and more consistent comparison across time (see Appendix B for more info).
