Bachelor of Science in Information Systems - Financial Information Systems

The Information Systems major prepares its graduates for many professions that involve the use of computers. The program is technology-oriented, emphasizing the design and implementation aspects of large-scale information systems as well as the more traditional managerial and organizational issues, and it balances development of system engineering skills with learning to deliver reliable systems on time and within budget. Throughout the program, the students are exposed to diverse applications areas, ranging from the traditional business, finance, and accounting, through telecommunications, networks, and database management, to computer-aided design and industrial production management systems. The students are required to take a number of courses in a specialization topic, and can easily accomplish a minor in that area. The two pre-defined specialization topics are Business & Economics and Technological Systems Management, but we also offer custom specializations. Recent custom specializations include Systems Administration, Network Administration, and Digital Media.
