Good News!
• The number of jobs in Computing is increasing at a faster rate than in any other industry (U.S. Department of Labor)
• Market demand for specialized Computing skills and knowledge will continue to outpace the supply. It is expected that more than 20 percent of permanent Computing positions will remain unfilled (Gartner Group: “IT Workforce
Change)
• Expanding technology needs will result in demand for qualified Computing Professional resulting in the biggest increases in base compensation over the next several years (RHI Consulting: Technology Professionals)

Three Majors!• Computer Science
A Computer Science student must also be interested in math and science
• Information SystemsAn Information Systems student must also be interested in working with people in organizations
• Information TechnologyAn Information Technology student must be interested in technology AND in application areas for technology

Math Placement
• The minimum math knowledge required for enrollment in our beginning programming course is Precalculus Mathematics (USA’s MA 112)
• A Math Placement exam must be taken by all new students PRIOR to orientation – More information: http://mps.southalabama.edu/mps/– A practice exam is available at
https://mps.southalabama.edu/mps/demo.html– The exam may be retaken 50 days after the last exam
dateCalculus I, grade of at least “C”, can be used as a math course for all CIS majors.
