<p>Im thinking about transferring from a community college to a University and majoring in Computer Information Systems. I will also earn certifications such as Cisco, CompTIA.</p>
<p>Is a Computer Information Systems degree worthless nowadays?</p>
<p>Usually, this is a business-oriented degree intended to prepare you to work in IT managing computers and their software (rather than designing computers and their software that CS graduates usually do).</p>
<p>Technical content is typically quite a bit lighter than in CS; taking the CS versions of the operating systems, networks, and database courses may give you a stronger technical background than most people working in IT, which can help in solving difficult problems and learning new technologies.</p>
