Information Systems Degree
Students who graduate with a degree in information systems have a valuable skill set that combines computer programming, applied computer science, and business. Some examples of jobs enjoyed by folks with this degree include: information systems manager, IT consultant, systems analyst, database administrator. Students graduating with this degree find themselves fitting just as comfortably in a board room as they do in the back office. This degree has another advantage in that it flows seamlessly into HSU’s MBA program.
As with our other computing degrees, our goal is that every student graduates as a skilled, independent problem-solver with broad, relevant “hard” skills accompanied by valuable “soft” skills. To this end, our courses combine theory and practice in the context of the broader university mission of providing an education enlightened by Christian faith and values.
There are several computing degrees available at HSU. Use this flowchart to investigate routes that are a good match for you.
