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)
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.

Free electives
Students must take at least 10 other courses (min 30 ch) selected from a list of approved courses that can be obtained from the Faculty of Computer Science. At least two of these free elective courses (minimum of 6 ch) must be 2nd year or above.
Note: For both the ‘Arts electives’ and ‘Free electives’ requirements, courses worth 6 credit hours or more will count as two courses.
GENERAL NOTES
1.
UNIV 1001 will not be counted for credit toward degree programs offered by the Faculty of
Computer Science.
2.
Bachelor of Information Systems students should be aware that a Minor in Business may be obtained by selecting relatively few additional Business Administration courses as free electives. Students planning to minor in Business should select courses in consultation, and in advance, with the Faculty of Business Administration.
Minor in Information Systems
Students who are not registered in a degree program in the Faculty of Computer Science may complete a Minor in Information Systems by completing 8 courses as follows:
ADM 1213 Financial Accounting
CS 1073 Introduction to Computer Programming I (in Java)
CS 3503 Systems Analysis, Design and Project Management
INFO 1003 Foundations of Information Systems
INFO 1103 Data and Information Management

A grade of C or better is required in all courses offered for the Minor. Students working toward a
Minor in Information Systems must make their intentions known to the Faculty of Computer
Science.
Applicants who do not meet the current admission requirements for the BISYS program but who offer an admission average of 60% may, at the discretion of the Faculty of Computer Science, be considered for admission to the Bachelor of Information Systems Entrance Program. Admission to the Entrance Program will be granted only to the extent that capacity allows. Students admitted to the Entrance Program will be individually counselled to select a reduced course load consisting of a maximum of 25 credit hours for the first year of study. The first year will normally include a special study skills course (UNIV 1001). By the end of first year, Entrance Program students who achieve the following will be permitted to continue in the Bachelor of Information Systems program in their second year:

A minimum grade of C in at least 21 credit hours worth of courses;

A minimum grade point average of 2.00; and

Successful completion of UNIV 1001 for credit.
Entrance Programs students who do not succeed in meeting these requirements will normally not be permitted to continue in any degree program offered by the Faculty of Computer Science.
