General Information
Information Systems was established at UNB as a separate program in 2007. The BISys program is
administered by the Faculty of Computer Science. The program educates professionals who apply
information technology to solve problems within the business domain.
The BISys program is designed as a four-year program or five years if undertaken in conjunction
with the Cooperative Education Program (Co-op) or Professional Experience Program (PEP).
Students entering the program are strongly encouraged to participate in either Co-op or PEP, as it
is widely recognized that the experience gained is a valuable component of an Information Systems
background. A description of the Co-op and PEP programs are found in Section G Undergraduate
Degrees in the Computer Science section.
The Faculty of Computer Science also offers the following degree programs:


Bachelor of Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (offered jointly with the Faculty of Engineering)
Curriculum
The program consists of 40 courses. The program consists of: required “core” courses from
information systems, computer science, business administration, and mathematics; arts electives;
and free electives. A minimum of 132 ch is required for the degree. A minimum grade of C is
required for all courses used for credit towards the BISys degree.
