Information systems are revolutionizing our world. Robots, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and the internet of things are just a few of the many technologies changing how we live and work. Computer Science and Computer Information Systems are the fields that study these information systems. The Computer Science Department offers degrees in these fields. Students learn how they work, how to create them, and how to use them. Students are first given a broad foundation of conceptual knowledge. Because of this broad educational foundation, graduates can go into many different specialties. Students with a 4-year degree can pursue careers in Software Engineering, Database Administration, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and many others. And because information systems are used everywhere, graduates can also work in many different types and sizes of organizations ranging from large corporations and government agencies to small businesses and manufacturing. At Century, the CSCI Department focuses strongly on preparing students to transfer to 4-year institutions and Century has excellent transfer agreements with all the major public universities and programs in Minnesota. However, students also receive substantial practical skills and in a good job market, students can seek immediate employment.
