The Mount’s Computer Information Systems (CIS) program is designed to prepare students for entry into the information systems industry. Students learn fundamentals of computer technology while building a foundation of skills in programming, database design, systems analysis and design, software application development, and Web applications design and development. Housed within the Division of Business, the CIS program is integrated with a comprehensive background in business. Students utilize leading-edge tools and develop environments to solve business problems throughout their CIS coursework. The CIS capstone course allows students to draw upon these experiences to develop a fully functional systems development project by applying their skills and integrating their knowledge of all phases of the systems development lifecycle. The opportunity to work on actual applications provides real-world learning opportunities that give students a foundation of experience to begin an information systems career.
Students graduating with a major or minor in the Computer Information Systems Department must achieve a cumulative 2.0 grade point average in their business division courses.
