The Computer Information Systems program prepares students for immediate
career opportunities in business and industry or for transfer to a four-year
college or university. The rapid changes in our Information Technology world and
the utilization of computers in every aspect of business and industry have
created an increasing demand for trained personnel in all areas of computer
applications.
The Programming Option provides students with a thorough understanding of
computer programming through proficiency with both an operating language (C++)
and a visual object-oriented language (Java or Visual Basic). The program
curriculum also provides students with hands-on computer experience in Web page
development, spreadsheets, database concepts, network operations, data
communication, and systems analysis and design. The Cooperative Work Experience
is a requirement in this program and provides an opportunity for students to
apply classroom knowledge to practical work experience. Career opportunities for
the Programming Option exist in the fields of entry-level programmer, programmer
analyst, information systems support and systems analysis. Further study can be
accomplished through transfer to a four-year college or university. Students
should meet with the Coordinator of Transfer and Articulation to confirm the
courses that will satisfy the requirements of the receiving institution.
