DEPARTMENT OF Information Systems & technologies Co-Chairs: Taowen Le and Betty Tucker Location: Wattis Business Building, Room 222 Telephone Contact: Marie Jensen 801-626-6979 Professor: Dolly Samson; Associate Professors: Taowen Le, Patricia Logan; Instructors: Stephen W. Logan, Betty Tucker A bachelor's degree in Information Systems Sc Technologies provides you with a broad background in basic business knowledge, problem solving, and computer systems analysis and design skills. Graduates from this major are prepared to help organizations use computer technology to support their business processes. Technologies you will study include programming, networking, analysis and design, Internet-based development, database management, and multimedia implementation. As an Information Systems Sc Technologies graduate, you may work for a large organization, specializing in one aspect of information technology; or, you may work for a small firm, where you are one of a few people who helps support all areas of the firm's technologies. Your job will involve working with people to understand how they do their jobs and where computers can be most effective, as well as implementing the computer-based solutions you identify; you may also train the people to use the systems, install and troubleshoot hardware, software, and networks; and help management understand and plan for the best new technologies to integrate in the organization's business processes. information systems & technologies Major » Program Prerequisite: 1. ISScT Associate of Science Degree, or equivalent degree or coursework (which may be articulated for the ISScT Associate) from an accredited A.S. program. 2.
