Software Engineering Emphasis
This emphasis focuses on knowledge and skills for the design, development, maintenance, and management of software, including software for the operation of instrumentation. It is appropriate for students preparing for careers as systems programmers, systems analysts, software engineers, or computer-based instrumentation specialists.

Important Notes:
- The College of Business (COBA) has a grade point restriction for enrolling in upper level business courses. Therefore if your overall GPA falls below that restriction level, you must either postpone taking MIS courses until your GPA improves, or you must change your emphasis.
- For prerequisite purposes only, COBA permits the following substitutions of CompSci courses for COBA courses:
