Welcome to the Computer Science and Information Systems Department!
Thank you for visiting the home page of the Computer Science and Information Systems Department. We offer an undergraduate major and minor in both computer science and computer information systems, and an undergraduate major in computer information technology.
After a slight decline in recent years, demand for information technology professionals is expected to grow over the next several years. The technology industry continues to offer exciting, challenging and rewarding careers. The computer science, computer information systems, and computer information technology programs can help prepare students for a future in the computer industry or graduate study.
The computer science and computer information systems majors were the first of its kind to be offered in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. The curricula is continually updated to stay current with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) curricula guidelines. Computer science ranked third and computer information systems ranked sixth in the top ten degrees in demand at the bachelor's degree level by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Research Job Outlook 2007.
