Information Systems (IS) is the use of computers and information to enable people and organizations to be more creative and productive. Studying information systems involves learning to: 1) identify the needs of an individual or organization, 2) design and develop systems to meet those requirements, and 3) deploy these systems to solve real-world problems. These solutions can involve applying the latest technology to improve the delivery of products and services, while insuring that the systems are secure.
Information Systems is distinguished from computer science (which is a department in the College of Arts & Sciences) in that it is more business-focused. Computer scientists focus more on computer hardware, computer languages, and specialized systems software.
