BS – INFORMATION SYSTEMS MAJOR
The BS-IS degree requires the University Core courses (general education) as does any major at UCA. It does not require the complete Business Foundation and Business Core requirement that the BBA degrees require. Like the MIS degree, up to 12 hours of the University Core will count as required business courses. This degree requires a minor in Computer Science. The following courses comprise the degree:
Business Requirements:
- MATH 1395 Business Calculus or MATH 1491 Applied Calculus*
- ECON 2320 Macroeconomics*
- MGMT 2301 Business Communications*
- ECON 2310 Global Environment of Business*
- ECON 2321 Microeconomics
- ACCT 2310 Accounting I
- MATH 2311 or QMTH 2330 Statistics
- ACCT 2321 Legal Environment of Business
- MIS 3321 Managing Systems and Technology
- FINA 3330 Managing Finance & Capital
