B.S. in Information Systems

(Traditional Daytime Program Only)

The Information Systems program is designed to bridge the gap between traditional computer science and business programs. There is an urgent need for professionals able to analyze, create, communicate, store, retrieve, control, and dispose of information in today’s business environment. The emphasis in this program is on business computing concepts and a study of sophisticated application software.

Program Objectives

• Provide exposure to certain business disciplines to enable the student to effectively perform an information systems role in a business environment.
• Equip the student to perform a broad range of essential functions within an information systems environment (e.g., using sophisticated application software to collect, manage and analyze data; acquiring programming skills in one or more languages; analyzing and designing systems).
• Prepare the student to make strategic level decisions specifically within the information systems context for business entities.
• Develop effective oral and written communication skills appropriate to a business environment.
• Provide an education that incorporates a distinctly Christian perspective on ethical issues and related concerns arising in specific business and/or information systems course content areas.
• Prepare students to secure employment within the field of information systems.
• Prepare students to pursue graduate studies in information systems or business.

Most of the computer courses are available during daytime hours only and only in a traditional classroom setting (i.e., not online).
