Computer Information Systems The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Information Systems Bachelor of Applied Science is a degree required as organizations face the challenges of Computer Information Systems technology management. The program provides graduates with business management skills and computer information expertise to manage computer systems in today’s organizations. As businesses increasingly rely on technology to provide a competitive advantage, employees with an understanding of both business concepts and computer systems are a necessity. Graduates of this program are employed in occupations such as systems analysts, analyst/ programmers, database administrators, network administrators, web page designers, help desk specialists and information technology managers. Graduates assist businesses with creating, obtaining and maintaining computer information systems that solve problems and assist in facilitating routine business events. Computer information systems studies require students to examine computer systems from organizational, social, psychological and technical perspectives. Graduates from this program will have taken a variety of courses that were developed based on national guidelines for quality degrees in information systems.

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Computer Information Systems combines the technical skills and business proficiency needed today. A unique program, the BAS allows students who have already earned an AAS to build upon their technical specialties with general education courses and junior/senior level computer information coursework. This allows associate degree holders to gain a 4-year degree in approximately four additional full-time semesters, depending upon prior coursework. Computer information systems courses to be taken include coursework
