Computer Information Systems

Welcome to the Computer Information Systems Department!

The need for skilled computer information systems employees is expected to grow by 15% in the next 10 years. Read this article: "LinkedIn says these are the 10 most in-demand jobs that don't need a degree" and see why you should enroll in one of our CIS programs!

Our department offers degrees and certificates in five major areas:

Computer Programming
Network Administration
Web Developer
MS.NET Application Development
JAVA Enterprise Programming

The degree programs require a minimum of 60 units, of which at least 36 units must be in a selected CIS major, and at least 24 units must be General Education units. Several levels of certificates are available in each of the five areas. The certificate programs can be completed without the General Education requirements.
