Description
Return to: Majors Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Chair : Samir Das Undergraduate Program Director: Ahmad Esmaili Undergraduate Program Coordinator: Sarah Nelson Office : 231 Engineering Building Phone : (631) 632-8381 Email : csugcomm@cs.stonybrook.edu Department Website The Information Systems major, which is housed in the Department of Computer Science, prepares its graduates to design and build computerized data processing and decision support systems. The program is technically oriented, emphasizing the design and implementation aspects of large-scale information systems as well as the more traditional managerial and organizational issues, and it balances development of system engineering skills with learning to deliver reliable systems on time and within budget. Throughout the program, students are exposed to diverse application areas ranging from traditional business, finance, and accounting through telecommunications, networks, multimedia, and database management, to computer-aided design and industrial production management systems.
