These information sessions are for students who are considering one of the Associate of Applied Science degrees or the one-year certificate in Computer Information Systems.

The information session covers the following topics:

  • The difference between Computer Information Systems and Computer Science
  • An overview of the CIS certificates and Associate of Applied Science degrees PCC offers and the jobs they lead to
  • Prerequisites needed to start the CIS classes and program
  • First-term suggested class schedule
  • Transfer options for CIS students
More information sessions will be posted in December/January.
