Specific Regulations |
| |
|
|
1. |
The aim of the Information Systems
concentration is to produce Arts
graduates with the processing, usage,
and managing information skills
required by business, education,
and government. Students wishing to
specialize exclusively in Information
Systems should consider enrolling in
the B.Sc. in Computing and Information
Systems offered by the Centre for
Computing Information Systems. |
| |
|
|
2. |
Courses in the Information Systems
concentration comprise both computer
science and business applications. |
| |
|
|
3. |
Information Systems is a rapidly changing
field; consequently, it may not be possible to transfer credit for
older courses and/or diplomas towards this degree. Athabasca University
will not grant credit for computer science courses taken more than
5 years ago. |
| |
|
|
4. |
Holders of the B.Sc. in Computing and
Information Systems from Athabasca
University, or its equivalent from
another university, may not enrol in
the BA (Information Systems). |
