ISE Program


The Information Systems major prepares its graduates to design and manage large transaction-processing and decision-support systems. The program is technology-oriented, emphasizing the design and implementation aspects of large-scale information systems as well as the more traditional managerial and organizational issues, and it balances development of system engineering skills with learning to deliver reliable systems on time and within budget. Throughout the program, the students are exposed to diverse applications areas, ranging from the traditional business, finance and accounting, through telecommunications, networks and database management, to computer-aided design and industrial production management systems. The students are required to take a number of courses in business and management, and can easily accomplish a minor in that area. Beginning Spring 2007 the department will be offering students an option to choose Information Systems as Minor in their undergraduate program of study.
