Computer Information Systems
Associate in Applied Science Degree – CIS.AAS.C12 (pending approval)
The Computer Information Systems program is designed to provide students the necessary skills to manage
and maintain the hardware and software for a business. Students will develop good communication skills,
learn to use the basic application software, troubleshoot hardware and software problems and develop software
applications.
This degree is not designed for transfer, however graduates will find that adult studies degree programs offered
at many universities often make it possible to continue on to a bachelor’s degree with minimal disruption. If
you are interested in transferring to a four-year institution, working with a KCC adviser can ensure a smooth
transfer experience.
