The Computer Information Systems (CIS) major has as its focus the processing of data for business or government use. File processing and database management are central to this activity, which typically includes replication of clerical function, generation of management reports, and provision of decision support information. Graduates of this program typically are recruited as business application programmers, web designers, database developers or administrators, technical writers, network administrators or support staff, or as end-user computing support personnel.
The CIS program of study is based on the latest ACM curricular recommendations for Information Systems. The CIS program of study has undergone curricular revision recently, and is kept up-to-date through not only its required courses, but also the choice of electives available within it.
