The Bachelor
of Science in Computing and Information Systems is offered by Athabasca University's Centre Centre for Computing and Information Systems. The program is designed
for students who wish to be applications-oriented, and use computers
in business, education, and other applications areas for the processing,
utilization, and management of information.
Graduates from the BSc-CIS, while still possessing the requisite
technical skills, will tend to be oriented towards system analysis
and design for organizational functions and will interact more with
personnel in organizations.
The programming language requirements for new students in this
program are COMP 268 (Java) and COMP 272 (Java), as noted below.
Those already in a program may graduate with other combinations
of programming language(s) in introductory programming and data
structures. Descriptions of the various acceptable combinations
that are suitable may be found from the Centre
for Computing Information Systems news page . If you have not
yet completed an acceptable combination, you should consult with
the Program Director to determine which course(s) to take to satisfy
the requirements.
Some courses will begin to specify Java as a prerequisite, but
usually allow other possibilities for some time.
Students are strongly encouraged to register in ENGL
255 or ADMN
233 early in their program. |
