Computer Information Systems

Information sessions

The Sylvania Campus CIS advisor, Michele Maxwell, offers information sessions for students who are considering one of the Associate of Applied Science degrees or the one-year certificate in Computer Information Systems (CIS).

Please note that Computer Information Systems and Computer Science are two completely different majors. Not one CIS class transfers towards a computer science requirement in a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

The information session covers the following topics:

  • The difference between Computer Information Systems and Computer Science
  • An overview of the CIS certificates and Associate of Applied Science degrees PCC offers and the jobs they lead to
  • Prerequisites needed to start the CIS classes and program
  • First term suggested class schedule
  • Transfer options for CIS students
