Plan Outline

This plan is for students who wish to undertake a Major in Information Systems.

Major employers of Information Systems graduates include government departments, banks, oil companies, insurance companies, large manufacturing enterprises, retail companies, service industries, universities and other research organisations, and computer marketing organisations.
