Program Notes:

1.     The program requirements are determined by the date a student officially becomes a CISIT major.

repeated one time. Withdrawal from a CIS course with an unsatisfactory grade will be considered equivalent to a final failing grade.

4.     No student shall choose the pass/not pass option for a CIS course.  Advisor agreement is required for any other course.

5.     Students may test out of up to two CIS courses.

6.     Students not prepared to take MA 153 will be required to take a non-credit preparatory math class.

Impact on Students:

This plan of study will focus and better prepare the information technology students.

 

What other Academic Departments will be impacted?

This plan of study is part of the larger change to the IT curriculum that will create an interdisciplinary need for courses, and may create increased enrollment in other departments.  Informal discussions have taken place with other School of Technology departments and related computer departments at Purdue University Calumet when approving the courses initially.

 

Summarize any discussions with the departments listed above:

This program utilizes all previously approved courses within the CIT department. This plan of study is aligning a previously accepted plan of study with the new courses and requirements of the department and University.

 

Impact on University Resources:

This plan of study will require faculty and laboratory resources.

 

Impact on General Education Requirements:

 

General education requirements are satisfied
