The department offers courses in the areas of computer information systems (CIS), operations research, and statistics. Courses in each of these areas provide training in problemsolving techniques useful in gaining strategic advantage in the marketplace. CIS students are afforded the opportunity to gain a strong foundation in the business, managerial, and technical issues related to information systems with courses in programming, data management, telecommunications, the Internet and e-commerce, and the analysis and design of computer-based solutions to business problems. Operations research trains students in the application of mathematical models and decision making for business, industry, and government with an emphasis on modeling methods, analysis, and implementation relevant to operational and management planning issues. Statistics students are provided with a skills base for the application of statistical techniques and tools to a wide variety of areas, including computational statistics, sample survey, experimental design, and quantitative methods in marketing.
General Information
The Department of Statistics and Computer Information Systems offers majors in the fields of computer information systems and statistics and quantitative modeling.
The computer information systems area prepares professionals in the development and use of computer-based technologies to develop systems that fulfill business information needs. Baruchs program trains students to analyze business needs and to design, implement, and use information systems to satisfy those needs.
The operations research area provides basic preparation for students who wish to pursue careers in the decision sciences and provides fundamental quantitative knowledge required by those who major in other business areas. Emphasis is placed on modeling methods, analysis, and implementation relevant to operational and management planning issues in many business areas, including marketing, production, finance, accounting, and information technology.
The statistics area not only provides the basic preparation for students who wish to pursue careers in statistics but also provides the quantitative knowledge required by those who major in other business areas. Statistics and quantitative modeling majors are provided with the base for the application of statistical techniques to a wide variety of fields.
BBA in Computer Information Systems
The CIS program provides a strong foundation in the business and managerial issues related to information systems. Computer information systems are presented in light of their role as tools for strategic advantage in the marketplace. To facilitate this, course offerings provide computer, technological, and problem - solving skills.
