<p>CIS and MIS are the exactlysame but some universities like to call it Computer Information Systems and others call it Management Information Systems. But at the end it is the same, information systems…</p>
<p>However, many people often question the difference betwen information systems and CS. </p>
<p>Information System involves less math than CS and is more about managing software and how to use it. Helping people in the company use technology and installing new software into their pc’s. In the other hand, Computer science focus more in how to develop these programs from zero using programming language (C++, Java, etc…)</p>
<p>Just one word of note about the “CIS” acronym…</p>
<p>95% of the time, it does mean Computer Information Systems and Salami809 described it (and its difference to CS) very well.</p>
<p>Just to confuse new students even more, a handful of schools will use CIS to mean Computer & Information Science. Computer & Information Science is much much more like a traditional CS degree. Schools like Ohio State and U-Delaware (I have lived in both states) call there CS degree Computer & Information Science. So…</p>
<p>Computer Information Systems is more like MIS
Computer & Information Science is more like CS</p>
<p>And then there’s a subset of programs that are more on network and systems analysis. My son is interested in this area, and we’ve combed many East Coast universities looking for programs that aren’t as math-y and theoretical as a full CS program, and not as business-y (accounting, finance requirements) as those classified in colleges of business (as many CIS/MIS degrees are). We have found what we’re looking for at George Mason, RIT, Syracuse, Pitt and possible LAC options at Baldwin Wallace and Mercer. There were others that were eliminated from our list for one reason or another, so this list is far from comprehensive. These programs have a wide range of titles, and are often joint ventures between different areas (such as information science and engineering). Here are some links:
