The Computer Information Systems (CIS) Minor (18 credits) will provide you with a big advantage in most careers outside of the CIS field. Most professional careers depend on technology in one way or another. If you are the one with the strongest technology skills in your group, your career will progress faster than those who are limited by their lack of knowledge in technology.
These courses will provide you with a well-rounded understanding of how the nature of an organization determines the nature of the network. You will learn about business applications such as Office 365, Systems Analysis, Personal Computer Hardware, Network Hardware, Network Design, Internet Technologies, Network Servers, Databases and Programming.
This CIS minor has been designed with maximum flexibility by accepting most of the three-credit CIS courses. Please be aware of the required prerequisites.
