The BSBA with a major in Information Systems (IS) requires the completion of 24 credits, including 8 courses beyond the completion of ISOM 120 Information Technology & Productivity Tools, and ISOM 310 Management Information Systems.

Students must select either the Business Analyst Track or Information Technologist Track.

The required Experiential Component ISOM 560, enables students to receive professional information technology experience. The 150 hours of professional information systems or information technology experience can be completed through a non-credit practicum, internship, part- or full-time employment, or through a cooperative education position through Suffolk’s Office of Career Services and Cooperative Education.

Some required courses will only be offered only once during an academic year. It is the students’ responsibility to work with their academic advisor to develop a program of study to ensure that course prerequisites are satisfied. Students may transfer a maximum of two courses towards their IS major, one of the five required courses and one of the electives. At least six major courses must be ISOM department courses. Prior approval is required for using a non-ISOM course for a major elective
