Program Courses

Please note that course schedules may be amended due to low enrollment, faculty availability, and/or other factors.

Online Sync Sessions are an integral part of the online learning experience. Additional information about learning concepts and assignments may be discussed and sync sessions offer valuable opportunities for students to interact with their faculty and peers during the term. We encourage all students to attend live, but if they are unable to, sync sessions will be recorded and posted within Canvas to allow for an asynchronous model of success as well.

CIS 498-DL : Computer Information Systems Project

Description

This course provides experience in the development of large multi-tier information systems. The project will cover all aspects of the software development life cycle (i.e., analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment), as well as project management and software configuration management. Students will use Java, an object request broker, and a database management system to develop a three-tier application using a use-case-driven, iterative, and incremental methodology.

The earliest students may take this course is in the quarter of their final class. Students must have completed CIS 413, CIS 414, CIS 417, and CIS 494 prior to taking this course; they may not take CIS 498 alongside one of these core courses.

Note: Registration for this course will be closed one week prior to the start of the term.
