I know at WPI an MIS degree is geared towards business applcations like database administration. Its also considered an "easy" major, but makes very respectable coin! Only basic level Computer Science and Engineering classes are required; the rest are business classes.
A CIS degree is a cross between a CS and an MIS. We had this degree until a couple years ago, at which point we cut it in half and consolodated to MIS and CS.
A CS degree is almost pure programming here. Primary focus' are C++ and Unix, with some Assembly classes. You also need to take statistics and algorithm math classes too.
Hope that helps you out!
