Computer Information Systems (CIS)
The mission of the computer information systems (CIS) discipline is to prepare students to use information technology (IT) to solve business problems. CIS students learn about the design, development, implementation, and management of information systems. They also learn about the business side of IT, such as project management and strategic planning.
The program objectives of CIS programs To prepare students for careers in IT by providing them with the knowledge and skills they need to design, develop, implement, and manage information systems. The students in the CIS discipline learn to configure and manage the cloud, work with big data to develop and present solutions, use AI (Artificial intelligence), use and manage Information Technology ethically, configure and administer computer networks, and develop web and user interface.
CIS graduates can find jobs in a variety of industries, including: Information technology consulting, Software development, Database administration, Systems analysis and design, Network administration, Web development, IT project management, Information security, Business intelligence, and Data science, and enterprise and cloud security.

The Certificate in Cloud Computing program prepares students to design solutions for infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) architectures by provisioning computing instances, establishing virtual private networks, managing databases and storage within a secure online environment. Students produce dynamic solutions responsive to information and computing technology workloads with on-demand pay-as-you-go pricing allowing flexibility for small business, entrepreneurship and enterprise adoption. Industry certifications are embedded to prepare for occupations in Cloud Architect, Cloud Support Associate, Cloud Engineer or Cloud Technicians. Some preparation in information technology or computer programming is recommended. The program utilizes AWS platform and academic contents to prepare the students to manage cloud-based computer systems.
The goal of the Certificate of Achievement in Data Science and Analytics is to prepare the student to work in the fields of Data Analytics and Data Science as an entry level Data Scientist or Data Analyst. The students in this program learn to apply data science tools to the collection of data and the translation of data into information, constructing models that can be used to address the patterns that data represents and to help the organizations make better decisions. The program covers database structure and management, programming logic and applications in the fields of data analytics and data science, the use of mathematics and statistics in the field, and the fundamentals of computer science. Students who successfully complete the certificate will have the opportunity to support data analysts and scientists as junior data analysts, data scientists, and/or data researchers.
