COMPUTER INFORMATION
SYSTEMS
What to take based on what
you’re taking now:
-
Computer
Science A.S.:
Make sure you get started on the
Calculus/Physics sequences if you haven’t already. Take CIS 41 sooner
rather than later unless you were already planning to be here a while.
-
MIS A.S.:
Find out which language (Java or Visual Basic) your target four-year
school is using and start the appropriate sequence (Java – CIS 31, VB
– CIS 114). Be sure to get going on some of your business sequences
(Accounting, Econ, Math) ASAP.
-
Currently in
CIS 17:
After this class you will have covered your
support course for engineering (CSC 234) at Cal Poly. If you are
looking to move into computer science or MIS, the next class to take
is CIS 31. If a four-year computer science degree is your goal,
you’ll want to take CIS 41 as soon as you can. EE/CPE students should
take ENGR 19 this Spring and CPEs should also take CIS 40 this Fall.
-
Currently in
CIS 31:
The most expeditious way to proceed is to take
CIS 32 & 33 this Spring. Each is a nine-week class and they will run
back to back in the same time slot. CIS 32 uses the same book you’ve
used for CIS 31. For greatest possible success in CIS 33 I’d suggest
taking CIS 41 this Spring as well. You may also want to take ENGR 19
(especially if you’re looking to go CSC or CPE at Cal Poly) in the
Spring and CIS 40 next fall if you’re planning to stay here only one
more year.
-
Currently in
CIS 33:
Get CIS 41 out of the way, and more than likely
you’ll want to take CIS 40 next Fall after ENGR 19 in the spring. MIS
majors can use CIS 33 at Cal Poly; otherwise you’ll want to focus on
the core business courses.
Note:
You can also check articulation (how
Cuesta courses equate to those at four-year schools) by going to
www.assist.org and calling up the school in question.
