We are a community of learners and scholars, actively, collectively and enthusiastically engaged in fulfilling the IS Department’s missions. Our focus in Information Systems is the application software lifecycle, including the design, creation, management, evaluation and analysis of the wide variety of computing systems applications that are directly used by individuals, groups and organizations to support their work and social lives.
