Computer Information Systems Pathways

Apply to WCC

Click on each computer information systems (CIS) pathway to see the recommended quarter-by-quarter classes and other recommendations.

This pathway assumes:

  • You will be a full-time student.
  • You will start in the fall.
  • You are ready to take 100- and 200-level classes.

If not, you can still complete the pathway! You will just need to make adjustments. Talk with your advisor to customize your plan.

The CIS program strongly recommends placement into MATH 94 and ENGL 92 or above prior to beginning CIS courses.

To remain in the program, you must maintain at least a C (2.0) grade in all CIS courses and demonstrate professional work behavior exhibited through class attendance, punctuality, and timely completion of class assignments.

The recommended course sequence for the AAS pathway will vary slightly depending on which specialty option you choose (cloud computing, data utilization, networking, or unmanned aircraft systems). If you're not sure which specialty option you want, refer to the general sequence.
