Overview of Courses

In addition to completing an internship for practical experience, our program’s curriculum links core courses from computer science and management science for a solid foundation in information systems. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:

  • Information Systems Theory & Practice
    This course provides an understanding of information systems and outlines the concepts of how I.S. can provide a competitive advantage. Different systems are presented. Design and implementation are discussed. Effect on business and society is studied.
  • Introduction to Programming I
    This course is an introduction to concepts and terminology in computer programming, including interface builders and problem-solving techniques in various programming environments. Emphasis is placed on the basics of software design and on elementary applications to mathematics and other disciplines.
  • Introduction to Relational Databases
    This course introduces the concepts and terminology of databases. The concepts discussed during the lectures are illustrated by a number of hands-on exercises based on the Access 2000 database software.
  • Computer Organization
    This course introduces the topics of digital logic, digital systems, machine-level representation of data, assembly-level machine organization, memory system organization, I/O, and communication.
