There are 10 options within the CIS Department giving you the opportunity to pick a field that matches with your interests.
CIS options:
Business Information Systems, Programming, Networking, Webmaster, Multimedia and Internet, Game, Computer Security, Computer Forensics, Information Systems Transfer, Computer Science Transfer
Computer Science Transfer was developed through a NSF grant which worked to make the courses at BCC match with the courses at UMD. Transfer to other places like Bridgewater also works smoothly.
Students taking Information Systems Transfer need to compare to the requirements of the college they wish to transfer to before picking languages and electives.
Programming intensive options: Programming, Webmaster, Game Programming
Forensics deals with information on the computer that may be hidden and security tries to protect computers from outside impact.
Networking sets up the structure of communication between computers.
Business Information Systems gives the chance to explore many aspects of computing.
Multimedia and the Internet explores the graphic side of computing and looks at many of the applications that can be applied. Game allows for two tracks: one is more design oriented and one is more development or programming oriented.
