Computer Information Systems (CIS) Learning Guides: Computer Information Systems (or CIS) is an academic/professional discipline bridging the business field and the well-defined computer science field that is evolving toward a new scientific area of study. A CIS discipline is supported by the theoretical foundations of information and computations such that learned scholars have unique opportunities to explore the academics of various business models as well as implement related algorithmic processes within the auspices of Computer Science. Typically, CIS courses include people, procedures, data, software, and hardware (by degree) that are used to gather and analyze digital information. Today, CIS is often a track within the computer science field studying computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their software & hardware designs, their applications, and their impact on society. Overall, an IS discipline emphasises functionality over design.
