An overview of computer information systems. This survey course introduces computer
hardware, software, procedures, systems, and human resources and explores their integration
and application in business and in other segments of society. The fundamentals of computer
problem-solving and programming in a higher-level programming language are discussed.
CIS 102. WORD PROCESSING CONCEPTS
One hour credit
A hands-on class for those with little or no knowledge of word processing. This course
introduces the student to word processing and progresses to a level of proficiency so the student
will be able to create documents without assistance. Prior knowledge of computers or
word processing is not necessary.
CIS 103. DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONCEPTS
One hour credit
A fundamental hands-on course in the design, creation, and use of databases using a
microcomputer and a database management system (dBase IV). This course introduces the
