Computer Science Information Systems
Computing affects nearly every aspect of our lives today. At this moment, you are interacting with a complex computing system: the Internet. But, consider the other computing devices that you interact with everyday: cell phones, iPods, video games, microwave ovens, DVD players, even your car.
All of this is possible because of computer scientists and information systems specialists. A degree in CSIS from Fort Lewis College will allow you to contribute to the future.
