COMPUTER SCIENCE–INFORMATION SYSTEMS EMPHASIS

This recommended transfer program meets the requirements for an associate in science degree and the recommendations of the Illinois Articulation computer science major panel. Bachelor's degree programs in computer science encompass two distinct emphases: the information systems emphasis and the technical emphasis. The information systems emphasis focuses on the use of computer technology and information management methods to solve business problems. Students should check individual school requirements before completing the curriculum as outlined. Admission into many baccalaureate computer science programs is competitive: completion of the courses outlined below alone does not guarantee admission.
