Bachelor of Science, Major
in Computer Management
and Information Systems
The Bachelor of Science, major in Computer Management and Information
Systems, prepares students for entry into a professional career
in business computing. The program provides students the in-depth
technical skills needed to work as professionals in management,
design, and development of business information systems. Students
also learn skills in all business functional areas by completing
the general requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree from the
School of Business.
Career Opportunities in Information Systems
The demand for graduates with degree level training
leading to jobs in the computing field has been consistently strong
for well over a decade. Future projections of employment demand
rank the computer area as a top job producing component of the corporate
sector of the economy. Demand remains strong for such positions
as software engineer, computer programmer, business systems analyst,
information systems consultant, information systems project manager,
telecommunications network manager, technical writer, and technical
support specialist.
Admission, Retention, and Graduation
To be admitted to the Bachelor of Science in
Management Information Systems program, students must meet all requirements
for admission to the School of Business. Students must maintain
a 2.5 GPA in all business (including CMIS) courses to be retained
by and graduate from the CMIS program. Students may be dropped from
the program in any of the following circumstances:
| 1. |
a GPA lower than 2.5 in all
computing core courses, |
| 2. |
a cumulative GPA lower than
that required for retention in the School of Business, or |
| 3. |
failure to enroll in courses
fulfilling program requirements for three consecutive terms. |
For readmission, students must meet the same
admission requirements as students entering the program for the
first time. To graduate, students must complete the specified program
requirements and meet the grade point average and residency requirements
of the School of Business.
