Program Overview

The minor in Computer Information Systems introduces students to the development and creation of systems to provide information. The areas covered are broad, yet central, and thus provide a strong background to cover most information systems. 

Additionally, a Minor in Computer Information Systems is also different from a degree in Computer Science as the focus is upon how to apply computing, rather than just looking at the theoretical aspects of computation. Thus, the degree is less mathematical and theoretical than computer science but still prepares students with the ability to write programs and create systems.
