Getting Started
All of our computer degree and certificate programs require a basic understanding of computer concepts and software. We offer several beginning courses:
CIS 1 —Introduction to Computer Information Systems (4 units) is a full semester course which covers computer software and hardware. Lab covers Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint.
CIS 200 —Microcomputer Concepts and Applications
(1.5 units) is a nine-week or half-semester course. It covers an overview
of computer concepts. In the lab portion of the class, students may select
Microsoft Word, Excel or Access. Thus, if students are familiar with Microsoft
Word, they can start their lab work with Excel or Access.
Once a student has completed CIS 200, they can learn additional software in a modularized format by taking CIS 230 (.5 units)
For more advanced students CIS 5 —Introduction to Computer
Science (5 units)--covers computer architecture, design of algorithms
and beginning computer programming. CIS 5 is offered
in fall semester.
