CS vs CIS
·
· Score: 1
Simply put they are not even close to the same thing. I have read many people trying to get this point across, but very few seem to understand this. CIS is a business degree! Those in the CIS programs know this and don't want to get a CS job. CIS is computer management and System Analysis... Those in CIS don't want to program or design computers, they want to work in business... Why is this concept so difficult to understand? And as for employability... If you don't already know, do a search on the Internet regarding the IS shortage... CIS professionals need not worry about getting and keeping their jobs.
