COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Associate in Applied Science
The Computer Information Systems (CIS) Associate Degree program is designed to provide a solid foundation in the fundamental skills that are generally required to analyze system requirements and design solutions or, to support and manage the application of technology resources. These basic skills are routinely required by many different industries and higher-level educational programs. Four degree options of Systems Analysis, Computer Support, Homeland Security , or Software Engineering are available. Each option begins with core courses of information system fundamentals, database systems, networking, web systems, and software development. Additional courses are chosen in one area of specialization to complete the option requirements. Current computer tools and an emphasis on practical application provide a relevant learning environment.In addition to satisfying the core requirements, the student will also choose one of the following four options.
