Graduates are prepared for the BAS-IS program, or for general Information Technology positions such as technical support, help desk, or other business-oriented systems environments.
The program offers students the ability to take a cross-section of CIS classes that introduces them to the major domains of information technology rather than specializing in a single domain. This includes programming, web design, networking, and security. The program stresses soft skills such as communication and teamwork.
