Computer Information Systems (CIS-M)

In this age of technology, the demand for information systems (IS) professionals is greater than ever; however, working professionals often are unable to complete their degree or add a second major in a traditional college setting. The CIS-Mobile, or CIS-M, courses can easily be accessed from anywhere through multiple technologies allowing the student flexibility while adding valuable training to their skill set.

A requirement for many positions, the CIS major is designed to prepare students for a wide variety of careers, such as programmers, network managers, management information systems directors, and systems project leaders for applications in business, industry and government.

Credibility
Milligan College has earned the respect of employers locally and throughout the U.S. Our graduates are leaders in many Tri-Cities corporations and organizations. In Milligan's program, you'll learn from an experienced faculty who are respected and caring Christian scholars committed to scholarship, excellence in teaching, and the faith development of their students.

Schedule
Students can take just one course at a time or complete the major in as few as four semesters/terms.

  • Click here for a course rotation on which classes to take when if you want to complete the major as quickly as possible.
  • If you're just interested in a few courses, click here for a course schedule through 2013.

Curriculum
The CIS online major is for working professionals and/or non-degree seeking students. (Non-degree seeking students who complete the major requirements will receive a Certificate in Computer Information Systems.) CIS-M courses are offered with on-site and online courses being taught simultaneously within each semester/term.

CIS-M courses follow the ACM Curricular Model and mirror those available to traditional on-site students at Milligan. Courses are delivered to the student via Milligan’s Internet course management system and the technology development lab using a server dedicated to facilitate student access to software supplied by Milligan’s Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) agreement to enrolled students.
