Department of CMIS

Because of AACSB accreditation pressures, the name of the degree CMIS students receive will change. The course content of the degree will remain the same, but students will now earn a BSBA with a CMIS specialization/major. To accommodate new programs in the CMIS department, the name of the CMIS specialization/major is also changing. While we remain the CMIS department, the major is now computer information systems (CIS).

Read more about new majors/specializations in the Department of CMIS and the Senior Portfolio Fair here.

We often hear from our School of Business alumni that they wish they had traveled internationally while in school. Employers are increasingly seeking out individuals who have had international experience, and this international experience is helping our students stand out among the competition. Students and alumni report that studying abroad changes their lives in many ways, including enhancing what they are studying and opening doors to new possibilities and new ways of thinking.

Jeffrey Loyet, a Glen Carbon, Ill. resident, spent his time at SIUE putting in the work both as a student worker and later as a staff member. He graduated in 2000 with a BS in CMIS. In this interview, Loyet spoke about his experience as an “older, non-traditional” student who focused on his education while still finding time enjoy his college years. “The campus was growing by leaps and bounds, and it seemed like there were new opportunities arriving all over campus almost daily,” he said. Today, he’s part of the Society for Information Management, the CIO Roundtable and SIUE’s own CMIS Steering Committee.
