Bachelor's Degree Program in Computer and Management Information Systems

Adelphi's CMIS program gained final approval in Summer, 2002, and is now up and running. Current students (e.g. in CS or Business) who wish to change majors to CMIS should contact their department for a Change of Major Form. Since some students have already taken most of these courses, we anticipate graduating our first students in CMIS in May, 2003.

The major in computer and management information systems requires 52-53 credits of coursework.

Core CMIS courses

• ACC 101 "Management of Financial Resources" (3 credits)
• MTH 110 "Pre-calculus" or 140 "Elementary Functions" (3 credits)
  Note: Students considering a Computer Science major should take 140 rather than 110.
• CSC/MTH 156 "Discrete Structures" (3 credits)
• BUS 162 "Introduction to Business" (3 credits)
• CSC 170 "Introduction to Computers and Their Applications" (3 credits)
• CSC 171 "Introduction to Computer Programming" (3 credits)
• either CSC 172 "Introduction to Algorithms and Data Structures"
  or CSC 173 "Introduction to Computer Science IIA" (3 credits).
  Students planning to take further computer programming courses are advised to take CSC 172 rather than 173.
