| Some
Common Questions |
| Q1: I am already in my third year
Commerce and I have not taken any Computer
Science courses. What should I do?
A: Please note that none of the Computer Science courses are required
courses for the MIS option. We strongly recommend them for an information
technology career because they are important for positions such
as systems analyst and database administrator. One way to incorporate
Computer Science courses into your program is to take CPSC 111 and 211 (or Comm337 and 432)
during your fourth year, and take the remaining at a later time
(e.g., as part of your job training).
Q2: I discover the MIS
option late and I am taking Comm 391 in
my 3rd year, 2nd term, am I too late to join the
MIS option?
A: No, you can take all five required MIS courses in your 4th year
and still be able to graduate with a MIS option degree.
