CIS Academic Map

This academic map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major.

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Information Sciences is project oriented, where students are required to perform the phases of systems analysis, design, and development.  Graduates will have an applied orientation, and will be able to make immediate contributions as professional programmers and system analysts.  Student internships and cooperative education participation are encouraged. Students may choose electives, which in conjunction with required courses, will prepare them for graduate studies in CIS related fields.
