There is no organization, whether it is large or small, that can survive without the support of its data processing department. The number of jobs available in business and government for computer-trained personnel continues to increase. The major specifically prepares the student in the area of data processing, business management, and accounting. The combination of computer and business courses prepares the students for careers in programming, system analysis, and management of computer systems.

Program Competencies:

• Apply problem-solving and critical-thinking skills and use popular computer technologies in producing technology solutions.
• Communicate effectively, ethically, and professionally in a team environment.
• Identify appropriate information technologies for a given organizational context and explain how to incorporate such technologies into the given organizational context.

The information and Computer Science (ICS) Department works with Park’s Career Development Center in helping to place students in computer internship positions. The ICS Department actively encourages students to work in such internship positions and considers internships to be an integral part of the ICS curriculum.
