Information Systems

The program in information systems (IS) provides a sound foundation in information technology (IT) principles and practice. The emphasis is on applications of information technology rather than computer itself. Core technology areas include programming, computer architecture, operating systems (OS), data communication, systems analysis and design, database applications, and project management. The program of study also includes practical statistics, IT organizations, and financial systems. The program also includes a significant general business component, as business topics are integrated into many IS courses.
