Career and Program Description
Computer Information Systems are the lifeblood of the 21st century. The mainstream languages, tools, technologies and techniques used in training will allow students to pursue careers in either the computer networking or information software fields. On the networking side, computer configuration, network installation, network systems administration, security, forensics and wireless networking are some career choices. On the software side, student career choices include all phases of application development, database programming, software quality assurance, and project management on both desktop and World Wide Web platforms.
Computer Information Systems AAS Degree: This degree prepares students for computer information systems related careers. Students will take classes in the CIS Department that include software analysis, design, programming (in two or more languages), database modeling, Windows or Unix operating systems, data communications and an extensive selection of electives. Emphasis is on developing enduring skills and knowledge, rather than on training students to use specific tools and applications that may be "fashionable," but that haven't established a foothold in industry.
Computer Information Systems: Network Administration AAS Degree: This degree prepares students for computer networking related careers. Students will take classes in the CIS Department including data communications, Windows and Linux network administration, network security and an extensive selection of electives. Students earning this degree will be well on their way to several network administration certifications from Microsoft and Comp TIA.
Computer Information Systems: Cybersecurity AAS Degree: This degree prepares students for a variety of cybersecurity-focused careers in the field of computer information systems. Students will take classes in the CIS Department that include cybersecurity concepts, networking, server administration, programming, database modeling, and web development. Emphasis is on applying cybersecurity concepts in a variety of business computing environments. Students earning this degree will be prepared to meet the growing nationwide shortage of cybersecurity professionals.
Computer Information Systems: Web Development and Design AAS Degree: This degree prepares students for a variety of web development and design careers. This cross-discipline degree includes classes on web development programming (HTML, CSS, Java, JavaScript), mobile app development, Windows or Unix operating systems, database modeling and secure coding as well as classes in UX/UI design concepts, generative art and data visualization. Emphasis is on applying web development and design concepts to build successful solutions to business challenges. Students earning this degree will be prepared to meet the growing nationwide need for web development and design professionals.
Computer Information Systems One-Year Certificate: This certificate provides students with a foundation in computer information systems concepts. Students seeking this certificate often have various primary roles in their organizations and are taking on additional responsibilities involving information systems.
