Interdisciplinary Information Systems Degree

The Computer and Information Sciences department participates in an interdisciplinary degree in Information Systems. This degree is available through Fordham College of Liberal Studies (FCLS). This degree program should not be confused with the major in Information Systems offered by the CIS department at Fordham's Tarrytown location.

The Information Systems program is an interdisciplinary major that combines courses in business, computer and information science, and the liberal arts. There are three groups of courses that the student in this major has to complete. The courses in each of these groups are listed below, but please check the most recent catalog for the Fordham College of Liberal Studies to ensure you have the most up-to-date information (course descriptions for the business group can be found under the College of Business Administration section of the catalog).
