Requirements For: B.S. Major – 42 hours, 2.0 gpa
No organization, large or small can survive without support for data processing, analysis, and management. The number of information systems jobs available in business, government, and non-profit sections continues to increase for this reason. The Information Systems major prepares students for careers in programming, product analysis, and management of computer information systems. The major allows students the freedom and flexibility to select a complementary minor reflecting their individual interests. The Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS) Department works with Park’s Career Development Center in helping to place students in computer internship positions. The CSIS Department actively encourages students to work in such internship positions and considers internships to be an integral part of the curriculum. Required Minor – 18 - 21 hours
In consultation with their advisor, students may select any minor.
