The Department of Computer Science and Stuart School of Business are proposing a dual degree program in Computer Information Systems (CIS) and Business Administration (BA). Information on program integration points, course lists, and sample schedules shown in this spreadsheet. In addition, in collaboration both departments developed an advising strategy where students will be given both an advisor from Computer Science as well as an advisor from Business Administration.  Communication between both advisors and the students will be maintained throughout the program through meetings and shared advising sheets or degreeworks.  Both departments will also aim to coordinate scheduling to avoid conflicts between core courses..

a) BUS 467 (Entrepreneurship II) replaces one IPRO. Learning about entrepreneurship, e.g., how to develop a business plan, is important for CIS students. In particular, many current start-up companies are rooted in CS and CIS. Thus, this course will be quite beneficial for CIS students.

b) BUS 321 (Optimization and Decision-Making). Learning about decision making in business and how to model an optimization problem  synergizes well with the modeling skills and optimizations skills that students learn in core CIS courses. By combining knowledge from business optimization with CIS optimization and modelling will enable students to utilize computation to solve optimization problems they have identified and modeled using the skills acquired in BUS 321.
c) CS 485 (Computers and Society) teaches student how computing fits into the bigger context of society and the role that computing plays for various application domains. This aligns well with the management skills that students develop in a BA degree. When managing a business project, students will have an immediate understanding how computing should be incorporated into the project.
d) CS 487 (Software Engineering) introduces students to manage the software development process. This will be beneficial for managing projects that involve software developement.
e) BUS 305 (Operation and Supply Chain Design) introduces students to design, planning, control, and improvement of both service and manufacturing operations. Algorithmic concepts such as constraint optimization and approximations of hard computational problems (e.g., traveling salesman) play an important role in many planning and control problems. Students taking BUS 305 will be able to apply these techniques that they learn in the CIS part of their dual degree to operations and supply chain design problems.
