In 2009, the College of Business revamped the
Computer Information Systems (CIS) program
New curriculum reflects how advances in information technology
have permanently changed the business world and will continue toshape how information is distributed and protected
Blended deep CIS expertise with evolving business skills to provide a
variety of career paths ranging from systems development and
analysis to Chief Information Officer (CIO), as well as emerging roles
in marketing, economics, finance, human resources, andaccountancy
Added a CIS minor (available to Business students only) that equips
non-CIS majors with the technical skills and awareness employers
expect in executive and management-level positions
