Critical Tracking
8 Semester Plan

The DIS curriculum provides students with computing, quantitative, and application skills to be used in a business problem-solving setting. The requirements span traditional academic disciplines to produce a multi-disciplinary major. Typical positions for DIS majors include decision support specialist, information systems specialist and systems analyst.

DIS majors are encouraged to complete one of the following professional development experiences: an internship, a study abroad program, the University Scholars Program, McNair Scholars Achievement Program, extracurricular leadership experiences (e.g. philanthropic organizations, student organizations), or an honors thesis. Students should consult with an academic adviser for specific information.
