The BAS in Computer Information Systems Technology has two Common Program Prerequisites. These courses must be completed before being admitted to 3000 and 4000 level courses and students will need to earn a grade of "C" or higher: 

Students must take STA 2023 Statistics and COP 2334 Introduction to C++ Programming .

Important Notes: The prerequisite for STA 2023 is MGF 1106 or MAC 1105 with a grade of "C" or higher. MAC 2311 is the alternate approved course to STA 2023. No other substitutions are permitted. The prerequisite for COP 2334 is COP 1000. The Common Program Prerequisite, COP 2334 may also be satisfied by any COP Computer Programming course. No other course substitutions are permitted
