Excellence in Data Management and Systems Development
Information Systems Specialization
The Information Systems specialization is completely different from Computer Science in its focus on
how to collect, store, and transform data into information. Professionals in this field are usually
responsible for creating information systems in a specific organization.
These professionals typically provide technical support and assistance in integrating proven
security solutions into complex information systems, in addition to integrating technology into
commerce (e-commerce).
Instead of just learning how technology works, students learn to identify which type of technology
should be used to solve business problems. This specialization is also known as Computer Information
Systems (CIS).
Fields of Study
The strength of an Information Systems graduate lies in problem-solving and systems development.
Here are examples of topics that students will study:
Computer Programming
Systems Analysis & Design
Systems Development
Project Management
IS Strategy & Management
Business Administration
Database Systems
Information Security
Scientific Focus: Information Systems specialists bridge the gap between
business and technology, combining core computing skills with business administration
principles.
