Degree Programs
BS Computer Information Systems
The Bachelor of Science program in computer information systems places an emphasis on business applications of computing. Students acquire basic skills in computer systems areas, including programming, database management, and other business oriented areas.
The program also requires that each student complete a core of courses offered by the Business Management department and is designed to follow the curricular guidelines of the Data Processing Management Association. Many graduates who pursue a advanced study enter graduate programs in management or business administration. However, with appropriate course selection, a student in computer/information systems may also be prepared to continue on into the M. S. program in computer and information science.
BS Computer/Information Science
The Bachelor of Science program in computer/information science provides a broad education in major areas of the field. The program, which closely follows the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) recommendations, gives students the flexibility to concentrate studies according to their interests.
The program is designed to allow a well-prepared student, entering the SUNYIT as a junior, to earn both the B.S. degree and an M.S. degree in computer and information science in three years. Students wishing to complete the M.S. degree in three years should seek advice from faculty members and become aware of faculty research interests as soon as possible.
