The Majors

 

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. Baruch's 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. The CIS program addresses such areas as CASE (computer-assisted software engineering), networks and telecommunications, electronic commerce, the Internet, client-server technology, and object-oriented technologies.

Program Learning Goals

Database DevelopmentStudents will apply the principles of design and development of relational databases.
System Analysis and DesignStudents will elicit, analyze, and model system requirements.
Software ProgrammingStudents will implement software systems using a suitable programming language/development environment.
Information Technology ManagementStudents will identify and explain the factors that contribute to the successful design, implementation, and management of Information Technology systems in organizations.
