- If you do not place into MTH 113 College Algebra with Trig the prerequisite is MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics. Math Placement is determined by the Mathematics Department. This course should be taken in high school or the summer before your first semester at ECC.
Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Computer Information Systems
Curriculum Code: 2002
Will Earn Upon Completion: Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree
Why major in Computer Information Systems?
Program prepares for careers in management or other positions in information technology as well as for transfer. Typical entry-level positions include Technical Support Specialist, Network Technician, Database Application Specialist, PC Technician, and Helpdesk Technician.
If I major in Computer Information Systems can I transfer to an upper-division college or university?
Curriculum prepares for transfer to upper-division colleges and universities. Consult catalog where you plan to transfer to, to select courses toward your baccalaureate.
Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my major?
Based on placement testing, you may be required to take developmental courses in English and/or Mathematics before taking courses in your major.
How long will it take me to complete this degree?
If you do not need developmental courses and you register for an average of 15 credits each semester, this degree can be completed in two years, which may be shortened by taking summer courses.
Where should I direct specific questions?
