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. To meet this
need, the Computer Information Systems program offers four associate
degree concentrations: the Application Specialist Option, the Database
Option, Programming Option and the Web Development Option.
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 may include positions
as entry level computer and information systems support. CORI/SORI:
