Department of Computer Information Systems
Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information SystemsInformation Technology Division
In today’s technology-driven world, businesses depend on computers to get the job done. The Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems helps students develop the skills that lead to employment in the information technology field. The technical certificate program provides students with basic information technology skills that lead to roles in computer support and serve as building blocks for the development of additional computing skills.
Students pursuing the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems design a personal course of study in conjunction with a CIS faculty advisor who shares the student’s area of interest. Degree plans commonly emphasize one of five concentrations: Internet Support Specialist, Database Support Specialist, Network Support Specialist, Workstation Support Specialist or End-User Support Specialist. Students with other needs or interests may develop unique concentrations with the consent of the faculty advisor. Students are required to contact the advisor each semester before registering for classes.
In addition to the general education requirements, all students must complete Computer Concepts. Students then select 12 credit hours of CIS core electives and an additional 33 credit hours are selected from the CIS advanced electives. All electives must be approved by the student’s advisor.
