calendarBusiness/Information Systems Analysis
bachelor of science degree
The Business/Information Systems Analysis program prepare graduates for challenges in the diverse, fast changing field of systems analysis, either from the business perspective or from the technological perspective. This curriculum provides the students with the opportunity to build upon their technical skills with leadership skills, project management skills, team building skills and customer awareness. The Business/Information Systems Analysis program builds a solid business and technological foundation from which the graduates of this program will be prepared for challenging entry level positions with private, government and nonprofit organizations.
The Business/Information Systems Analysis program has three application domain courses that the student can use to customize their program to the specific industry they are interested in pursuing. These courses will be determined through consultation with the student’s faculty advisor and will become part of their degree requirements.
Seniors participate in one of five experiential education options: technical project team, internship, externship, coop or solo project. Students apply for the experiential education option they want and are placed according to their qualifications, work availability, and the best fit for their program of study.
An important component of the educational experience of the Business/Information Systems Analysis major is the general studies courses taught out of the John Hazen White School of Arts and Sciences. Graduates are expected to show competencies in higher order thinking, communications, ethics, global diversity, responsible citizenship, leadership and artistic responsibility. The following literacies should also be demonstrated: socio-cultural, quantitative, scientific and informational.
