COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Computer Information Systems program graduates are prepared to successfully join the work force as technical and management professionals in a variety of industries. CIS graduates play essential roles on the business team, typically designing and implementing hardware and software solutions to business problems. They are also expected to possess knowledge, experience and skills that will enable them to adapt to change in this dynamic field through a lifelong learning process.

Tracks are offered in Business/Management, Computer Forensics, Database Management, Information Systems Security, Systems Analysis and Integration, and Web Development and Administration. In addition, a flex option is available in lieu of a specific track. Students can elect to complete any track; however, some coursework required for track completion may be available online only.

Program objectives

The CIS program is designed to produce graduates who are able to:

• Analyze, design and implement solutions to business problems.
• Create and test computer information systems solutions for business problems.
• Demonstrate project management skills.
• Communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
• Apply information literacy and problem-solving skills that support lifelong personal and professional development.

DeVry accomplishes these goals by:

• Providing a sound foundation in structured, event-driven, object-oriented and web programming, as well as systems analysis and design, database design and management, and networking across multiple platforms.
• Incorporating a strong applications-oriented component with each technical course, which reinforces learning of fundamental concepts, principles and theory through use of computer hardware and software for problem-solving.
• Integrating general competencies such as applied research, written and oral communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and team skills in technical and nontechnical courses.
