 New!  CIS Minor

With the fusion of business processes, organizational structure, and information technology, every business professional who expects to be successful should complement their business knowledge with information technology (IT) competency. Employers increasingly expect business professionals-including executives-to be equipped with the IT skills necessary to conceive, initiate, lead and troubleshoot projects. This competency in IT will allow them to leverage knowledge and skills they acquire in their business majors in order to become effective managers in today's world. The CIS minor has been designed to address this growing need.  The minor provides students the edge necessary to leverage their professional skills and maximize career potential.
The CIS minor will be offered for the first time in the fall of 2009. The program is available only to College of Business students. It provides College of Business students with the technical skills they need to expand career opportunities, negotiate higher starting salaries and ultimately advance more rapidly in their careers.
The 15-credit-hour Minor includes five CIS courses : Fundamentals of Information Systems (150), Software Development I (199), Database Design (310), Systems Analysis & Design (320) and Infrastructure Technologies (350).
