Degree Requirements


Required Major Courses


All undergraduate CIS majors must complete

CIS Majors


CIS majors will count CIS 3260  toward their junior/senior business electives. Majors must take three additional CIS courses. CIS majors who complete the Cooperative Education program can opt out of taking CIS 4970  or CIS 4980  and take any 3000-4000 level CIS course in its place. The requirement for CIS 3260  may be met with no credit hours awarded upon successful completion of approved online courses and exams in programming as directed by the CIS chair. CIS majors who exercise this CIS 3265 exam option must take an additional CIS course (for a total of four CIS courses beyond the other three required CIS courses) to complete the 24 credit hour requirement at the 3000 and 4000 level.

Required Sets of Electives


The CIS Department requires that students develop particular expertise in at least one Information Systems field as shown below.
