Purpose

The Computer Information Systems (CIS) program provides training for students interested in networking, hardware or software aspects of computer network systems. The curriculum paves the way to attain certifications such as A+ (related to computer maintenance and software administration), CCNA (entry-level network engineers), or Microsoft Active directory 70-64x. Students are encouraged to find ways to actively engage in activities that promote ongoing learning on their own. The IT field is very dynamic, and the only constant is change.


Admission Requirements

Students are admitted to the CIS program through regular college admission procedures (see Admission Regulations section). Students will receive an A.A.S. degree upon satisfactory completion of the courses of study and upon making formal application for graduation (see Curricula section).
