1Department of Computer Science and Information TechnologyAustin Peay State University, Tennessee, USADepartment of Computer Science and Information TechnologyBachelor of Science (B.S.) Information Sheet – Effective Fall 2021 SemesterThe Department of Computer Science and Information Technology offers three Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees. There are six(6) areas of study (concentrations) available under the three (3) majors. The Department also offers six (6) minors. B.S. in Computer Information Systems (BS CIS – declare using major code: cmis)The CIS major prepares students to work in technical but applied areas of computing. While maintaining an emphasis onprogramming, it addresses several areas of application, including systems development and cybersecurity.o General Information Systems Concentration This program is for those who plan to work in some areas of computerapplications in the business field. Areas of study include data communications, database management, and systemsanalysis and design, with an emphasis on programming in several languages that are useful for business applications.o Information Assurance and Security Concentration This program prepares students to work in the informationsecurity and data protection areas. The program features student selectable emphasis areas in information securitytechnical administration, information security management and secure software development. B.S. in Computer Information Technology (BS CIT – declare using major code: cmit)The CIT major prepares students for a career in certain professional job tracks within the information technology field. Thesetracks include web developer and administrator, database administrator, and network administrator.o Web and Database Concentration This program trains students in the development and support of web applications. Italso trains students in the design, implementation, and administration of databases. It emphasizes the construction ofwebsites, databases, and the programming languages used in web development.o Networking Concentration This program provides students with an in-depth understanding of the foundations of datacommunication and modern networking technology and develops the technical skills needed to deploy and manage anenterprise network in a secure computing environment. B.S. in Computer Science (BS CS – declare using major code: csc)The CS major covers the technical areas of computing with an emphasis on programming and algorithm design. It includes asignificant mathematics component. It allows students to study traditional computer science topics as well as topics in thenewer area of software engineering.o General Computer Science Concentration This program concentrates on the technical areas of computing with anemphasis on programming and algorithm design. It includes a significant mathematics component.o Software Engineering Concentration This program focuses on the areas needed to develop and manage large softwaresystems. Topics include software requirements, design, architecture, testing, quality assurance, and project management.Official APSU Academic Bulletins - All Years 2021-22 Bulletin - Computer Information Systems (B.S.)2021-22 Bulletin - Computer Information Technology (B.S.)2021-22 Bulletin - Computer Science (B.S.)Students need to complete the General Education Core requirements.
