The CIS - Computer Information Systems Associate of Applied Science (AAS) prepares students for workforce-ready roles in computing and information technology. The program provides a strong foundation in business applications, computer hardware, operating systems, programming logic, web technologies, databases, and application development.
Students complete a common core of technical coursework and then select one of three specialty tracks to align the degree with their career goals: Software Development, Game Design, or IT Generalist. Each track builds applied, hands-on skills while reinforcing problem-solving, project planning, and professional practice.
Graduates are prepared for entry-level to intermediate positions in computing, technology support, software development, or interactive digital media, depending on the selected track.
All major course requirements are to be taken in the order approved by the student's individual CIS Advisor. The student must have a C or higher in all required courses in order to progress to the next level of the program. To remain eligible for enrollment in subsequent CIS courses, a student may repeat a particular CIS course only once and may repeat only two CIS courses.
