The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems offers a wide range of computer science courses to support the B.S. degree with a major in computer science. These courses are designed to prepare students for computing careers in business, education, government, and industry. The courses also provide the foundation for graduate study in computer science or information systems. The courses blend theory and practice to prepare the students for careers in a rapidly changing field. Employment opportunities in programming and systems analysis are expected to increase much faster than the average for other occupations for the next several years.
Computer Science majors must satisfy the general education requirements for the appropriate Bachelor of Science degree. Majors are advised to select physics as one of the laboratory sciences. If a student is not prepared to enter calculus as the first mathematics course, the elective hours can be used to take college algebra and/or pre-calculus.
There are two B.S. degree options for the computer science major. Each of these options is based on a common core of computer science and mathematics courses.

The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems offers a wide range of information systems courses to support the B.S.B.A. degree (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) with a major in information systems. The Information Systems major is designed to prepare the student for careers working with today's and tomorrow's computer-based information systems. Students interested in designing and developing information systems should select the Management Information Systems Concentration, while students interested in using information systems and/or training others to use information systems should select the Office Information Systems Concentration. Both concentrations build upon a foundation of computer literacy which emphasizes hands-on skills. These skills are practiced and polished in a network environment that encourages the collaborative problem solving approaches being used in modern organizations.
Management Information Systems Concentration:
The Management Information Systems concentration is designed to prepare the student for organizational roles involving the design, development, and administration of information systems. Typical positions include systems analyst, programmer, network administrator, computer consultant, computer applications support specialist.
