The mission of the Division of Computer Information Systems is to support the
mission of the University of Arkansas at Monticello by focusing on the undergraduate
educational needs of computer information system students in southeast
Arkansas and the region. The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information
Systems is designed to prepare students to assume dynamic roles as analysts and
designers who will provide the professional insight required for building the
information systems of the future.
The goal of the program in Computer Information Systems is to advance the
development of those intellectual, personal, and professional attributes that
prepare students to shape the complex computer software environment of the
future. Graduates are prepared to begin careers as computer programmers, to
rapidly progress to systems analysis responsibilities, and ultimately to occupy
positions in management of information systems. Students augment their
Computer Information Systems learning with selected courses in business and
communication. This comprehensive program allows graduates to confidently
advance in the complex business environment of the future.
The Division of Computer Information Systems offers a Bachelor of Science
degree with a major in Computer Information Systems. An advanced certificate in
Computer Information Systems and a minor in Computer Information Systems are
also available.
The major program is comprehensive, requiring a minimum of 60 credit hours
of course work in Computer Information Systems and approved courses in

the General Education and the Bachelor of Science mathematics and/or science
required courses selected.
A total of 40 semester hours must be earned in courses numbered at the 3000-
4000 level. ACCT 2213 and ECON 2213 must be taken prior to or concurrently
