What Students are Saying
"I struggled with my career choice very early on. When I started my database course in the Spring, it was challenging, but turned out to be one of my favorite classes. Dr. Coronado asked me to assist him in an out of class project and offered opportunities for me to assist with designs for the database user interface, attend meetings with the business’ CEO, and see firsthand how a database is used in a business. Working on this project gave me experience in Information Systems and an idea of what I could do after graduation."

"I am a double major in marketing and management, so IS is a world that heavily works with business. I decided that I should minor in IS so that I could familiarize with this side of business. I have never been more happy with my decision. I enjoy attending every single one of my IS classes, my professors make learning interesting and give assignments that can be applied in the real world."
