As a result graduates will be able to:
1. Prepare formalized business analysis and requirements gathering reports
2. Analyze, design and implement solutions to business problems.
3. Create and test business information systems solutions for business
problems.
4. Demonstrate the ability to manage projects.
5. Communicate effectively orally and in writing.
6. Apply information literacy and problem-solving skills that support life-long
personal and professional development.
These learning outcomes are consistently reviewed by the program’s advisory
committee. As of the last report, over 90% of the degree graduates are employed in a
full-time career-related position within 6 months of graduation.
The Evaluation Committee that reviewed the Institute’s Self-Study commented on these
additional strengths of the program:
• The curriculum is very well organized, in a logical, sequential manner with an
emphasis on the practical applied aspects of technology and with particular
reference to the needs of business and industry;
• There is a very high level of faculty retention and commitment;
• There is a very comprehensive and detailed admission process, including
visits to the homes of applicants for discussions with them and often also with
their parents;
• There is excellent library and resource materials support;
• The two programs both met the PEQAB’s objectives of subject matter
breadth.
The Committee also noted the declining enrolment in the Bachelor of Technology
(Computer Information Systems) program and provided these observations and
recommendations:
• “Current predictions suggest that there will be an increased demand for a
Bachelor of Business Information Systems degree. This will likely occur in a
year or two.
