Computer Information Systems Analysis (Integrated Systems Specialist)
The integrated systems specialist program is designed to be as "people oriented" as it is "machine oriented." Students will be trained to be problem solvers in the areas of microcomputer systems and micro/mainframe integrated systems. Communication and interpersonal skills will be developed through less traditional modes such as role playing, internships and seminars.
Students graduating from this program should be qualified to fill entry- level jobs in any size company. Common job titles for which this degree prepares students include: product specialist, microcomputer specialist, network manager, problem desk worker, and microcomputer and networking analyst.
NOTE: This associate in science degree program is intended preliminarily for students who desire to complete an associate's degree and become employed rather than pursue a bachelor's degree. Students who decide to pursue university transfer study must meet certain course and test requirements. For details refer to university transfer requirements.
