Information Systems versus Computer Science
An information systems degree differs from a computer science (CS) degree in its focus. A computer science degree is an engineering degree which provides courses on the mathematics and science behind computer systems. An information systems degree is a business degree. An information systems degree has courses on the application of computer systems, how to use those systems for a specific purpose in a business environment. An information systems degree is a bridge between the technology of computers and the real world application of those technologies.
