2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
The curriculum for computer and information sciences (CIS) majors prepares students for technical and managerial positions in public and private organizations. The curriculum emphasizes three aspects pertinent to the student’s professional career: the functions to which computers are applied in organizations, the professional skills for the design of computing applications and the decision-making techniques for the efficient and effective utilization of computing resources.
CIS majors are encouraged to complete one of the following professional development experiences: an internship, a study abroad program, the University Scholars Program, McNair Scholars Achievement Program, extracurricular leadership experiences (e.g. philanthropic organizations, student organizations), or an honors thesis. Students should consult with an academic adviser for specific information.
