The Information Science program has computer course work requirements identical
to those of the Information Systems program. In contrast to the Information Systems
program, however, a student majoring in Information Science may select a minor other than
Business Administration. Like the Information Systems program, the Information Science
program incorporates course work reflective of current computing practices, whether
legacy or state-of-art. This includes course work in applications programming, data and
file structures, object-oriented design, system design, database design,
systems implementation, systems maintenance, networks, and computer communications.
Depending upon the minor program chosen,
graduates are prepared to embark on careers in network applications, software development,
systems analysis and design, or other more specialized computer-related careers.

Prerequisites
Students are encouraged to complete program prerequisites during their
freshman and sophomore years. Similar course work at another institution
will be considered on a case by case basis at the initial meeting with a
department academic advisor. All prerequisite courses must be completed
with grades of C or better.

Major Requirements
In addition to the major course work, the Information Science program
requires studies in a minor area. A minor consists of a planned
selection supportive of the major. Minors are described in the UNF catalog
under the appropriate college.
Courses applied toward the major may not be counted in the minor.
Students majoring in Information Science may
minor in Computer Science.
All course work for the major must be completed with grades of C or better.
