The Bachelor of Science in Information Systems (BS-IS) program prepares students for careers as application programmers/analysts in a business environment and for further graduate work in information systems. Business courses supplement a strong core of technical courses to enable students to design and implement business processing systems that require programming, databases, web development, networking, and client-server processing.

 

Program Educational Objectives

The mission of the Department is to produce men and women who can assess, develop, and maintain business and scientific computing systems, and who are capable of continued learning and ethical practice in computing.

In Accomplishing This Mission, Within the first few years following graduation, The Graduates Of The BS-IS Degree Program Will:

1. Communicate effectively using terminology and processes that are appropriate for the field of information systems.
2. Work efficiently and effectively in a team environment to develop appropriate computer-based systems to satisfy stated requirements.
3. Solve complex computational problems using appropriate models, techniques, and abstractions.
4. Conduct themselves in a professional and ethically responsible manner.
5. Learn new trends and technology and willingly adapt to new systems and software environments.

Student Outcomes

In support of the program educational objectives above, the curriculum of the Information Systems Program is designed to enable students to attain the following outcomes:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
6. Support the delivery, use, and management of information systems within an information systems environment. (Unique to information systems)
