Computer information systems is a technical field where you learn computing in the context of business. You’ll tap your mathematical, logical problem-solving ability as well as your capacity to communicate effectively as you study the analysis and design of information systems. By combining this with your major studies, you’ll be ready to produce breakthrough developments in design and technology, science, art, business, or wherever your area of passion lies.
