Note: Students can seek permission from the Business Department to use one other upper-level business course not included on the list.
Note: No more than two upper-level courses can be taken from any particular concentration within the Bachelor of Business Administration. CIS students thus need to choose their electives in other disciplines carefully in the CIS diploma (years 1 and 2) and degree (years 3 and 4). There are 8 electives in other disciplines in the overall CIS program.
This leaves two additional upper-level Business courses to be taken to complete the BCIS degree with a minor in Business Administration. (Taking this combination requires two more courses than a BCIS degree without a minor.) Diploma Course Choices
