Programs in the Department of Business Computer Information Systems
The Business Computer Information Systems program is designed to prepare students for computer-related careers in business and government. Students are taught the professional skills of a programmer/analyst such as systems development methods, programming languages, and database processing. Additional topics covered are client/server systems, decision support systems, quantitative modeling techniques, user computing support and management, and information systems management. Graduates of the BCIS program will have a good understanding of both business operations and computer-based information systems. They are qualified for a wide range of positions requiring this combination of knowledge.
Students having a GPA of at least 2.65 and satisfying the other requirements for admission to the major or minor in business will be admitted. Students are advised to take BCIS 340 class as early as possible before they are admitted to the major.

The department currently does not offer a graduate program. BCIS courses are part of the Master of Business Admnistration program (see MBA requirements, listed under Master of Business Administration in the graduate bulletin).
