CO-OP & CAREER GUIDES
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Bachelor of Science in Information Systems (BSIS)
emphasizes the efficient design and use of information
and information technologies. The information systems
curriculum has no single application focus. It is directed to
the art and science of managing information in all
application environments. Students learn how to
determine information needs, design appropriate
information systems, manage those systems, and
measure the systems’ performance. The emphasis is on
the users of computers, and on building professional-level
information systems skills. To further emphasize the
business aspect of the degree, the BSIS curriculum
includes a built in business minor.
