Business Information Systems Program (BIS)

The Business Information Systems program is intended for the student who is interested in a programming career in a client/ server environment or in the areas of electronic commerce or database applications. This is especially true of the career opportunities in the PC-related programming fields, as well as the newer fields of electronic commerce and databases.

The BIS degree will allow a student to study a variety of different areas related to PC programming and related applications. This program emphasizes flexibility to allow a student to take courses that relate to specific areas of interest. It is also possible for the student to take course work from several different but related areas of study. For example: many electronic commerce applications use databases as an integral part of their business. These combined skills will give the student a more marketable background.
