    Computer Information Systems degree

     
    I was just wondering about people's experiences with the computer information systems/technology bachelor degree.

    I'm graduating this August with a degree in Sociology and want to pursue more education. I've always enjoyed working with computers. The classes seem interesting as with the kind of jobs that are available at graduation. I know I would rather not attend a tech school with limited credit transferbility.

    I'm also wondering about the amount of math required for this degree. I can do it...but it is quite a struggle sometimes. I've already ruled out computer science for this reason.

    I would appreciate any opinions, recommendations, advice etc about computer information systems field.

    Thanks!
    Allison

    I am a Computer Information Systems student, i graduate next May (if all goes well) ......

    The most math i had to do was college algebra and then Applied Calc (stupid peoples calc) not bad at all. I got A's in both. CS majors have to do Calc I and Calc II.

    Are you looking to going for another 4 years? If so there are alot of electives that i needed to take.

    I would prefer to see if I can widdle it down to two...I have all my generals plus some out of the way.

    Do you have to take the CIS classes sequentially or can I take maybe 4 or 5 of them at once? Also, what school are you attending?

    Thanks so much for your help : )

    I don't know where you're at in your job search, but Northrop Grumman has computer information systems jobs. Focuses include homeland security, land forces, and missile defense.
