Computer Information Systems

"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

Harold Abelson and Gerald Sussman, Professors of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT

Why Computer Information Systems?

The U.S. economy is technology-driven, creating a high demand for computer technology and information system professionals. The Computer Information Systems (CIS) degree at Colorado Christian University is distinct in that it focuses on practitioner-based teaching and practical learning. CIS majors receive hands-on instruction in industry-standard applications and are required to complete technical projects for real companies – providing invaluable post-graduate career opportunities.

CCU Computer Information Systems majors learn how to: build and manage networks and databases, program using Visual Studio, design and develop Web environments, manage a help desk, and fix most computer problems. Students also learn how to plan and implement larger technical projects. CIS majors must take the Business Administration core curriculum so they have the added advantage of understanding business and the importance of the bottom line in the use of computer systems. CCU graduates have often stated that they feel "well prepared" by the program and are employed in the careers they had hoped for when they started at CCU.

Computer Information Systems in the Christian University

Can a CIS program be distinctively Christian? We believe so. Our students don't just learn about how to design, implement, and use computer information systems; they also examine the moral, ethical, and responsible use of those systems and the data they contain. As our professors integrate faith into the classroom, they challenge students to find ways to improve the quality of work life and to use their knowledge and skills to further the Kingdom of God.
