Degree Requirements
In today's highly competitive global environment, the effective deployment of
information technology has become the key to business success. New applications
of information technology strike at the heart of what management does and how
organizations are structured and compete. In many respects these applications
are redefining the nature of work and its organization.
Bachelor of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems
There is a continuing shortage of specialists and managers with the combination
of business and technology skills needed to bring about this reshaping of
American industry. The purpose of the CIS major in the B.B.A. program is to
produce graduates who are 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 which allow organizations to
compete in the global marketplace. Graduates will be prepared for careers in a
variety of areas such as programming, systems development, database
administration, network deployment and support, and consulting.
