[updates reflect changes to take effect Spring, 2008]
|
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 - 12 Semester Hours
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
School of Computing academic advisor. All prerequisite courses must be completed
with grades of C or better.

CGS 1570 |
Microcomputer Application Software | 3 hours |
|
COP 2xxx |
Introduction to Visual and Procedural Programming* | 3 hours |
|
COP 2551 |
Introduction to Object Oriented Programming | 3 hours |
| ~~~ | Prerequisites for minor chosen from the UNF catalog | |
- *The statewide common prerequisites for IS programs changed in 2006-2007 to allow schools to select
two programming languages of their choice. COP 2120 has been one of the UNF prerequisites and we will continue to accept
this course for transfer credit through Fall 2007. Beginning Spring 2008, we are replacing COBOL with a Visual &
Procedural Programming course. Acceptable equivalents from Florida community colleges include COP 2333: Advanced VB Programming
or COP 2838: Advanced Visual Basic.NET Programming.
Select one from the following:
| MAC 2233 | Calculus for Business | 3 hours |
| MAC 2311 | Calculus I | 4 hours |

Program 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.
