Computer Information Systems
Department Info
OPSU offers a Bachelor of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems, an Associate of Science in Business Administration with a Computer Information Systems concentration and minors in Computer Information Systems and Computer Graphics.
The CIS BBA degree builds a solid foundation based upon the five components of an information system: hardware, software, data, procedures, and people. Students develop these skills through courses focused on hardware and software, networks, databases, programming, web technologies, security, operating systems and virtualization, and systems analysis and design. OPSU provides a rich selection of information systems electives to enhance and strengthen the students’ knowledge base. As information systems are business driven, all CIS BBA graduates are required to take a core of business courses in addition to CIS courses.
CIS students have access to well-equipped labs with diverse computer environments including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, varied Linux platforms, virtualization environments, and networking equipment. Students graduate from OPSU with practical experience that prepares them for the work force and lifetime learning.
The CIS department is highly regarded on campus, in the state of Oklahoma, and nationally. Our students have achieved more than 100 top 10 finishes in regional and national competitions since 1998. The CIS department was awarded one of four “Program of Excellence” grants by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
