In today’s highly competitive global environment, the effective deployment of information technology has become the key to organizational success. There is a continuing shortage of individuals with the combination of business and technology skills needed to develop and manage information systems that provide competitive advantage in the global marketplace. The mission of the CIS major in the B.B.A. program is to produce graduates able to fill this need. Students will learn how to combine their general business knowledge with the latest software engineering tools and techniques to create information systems needed by today’s organizations. Graduates will be prepared for careers in a variety of areas such as consulting, systems development, business process analysis, cybersecurity, IT project management, database administration, process architecture, and programming.

Required Major Courses
All undergraduate CIS majors must complete
CIS Majors
A minimum of a B or higher in CIS 3260 is required to take upper-level Computer Information Systems courses. Undergraduate BBA students intending to pursue a major on Computer Inforamtion Systems will be limited to two attempts to earn a grade of B or better in CIS 3260.
CIS majors will count CIS 3260 toward their junior/senior business electives. Majors must take three additional CIS courses that comprise a Concentration within the B.B.A major in Computer Information Systems. 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.
