Business Computer Information System Degree Program
We are all inundated with technology daily, but do we really know what technologies best serve us? Instead of only learning how technology works, BCIS students learn what types of technology should be used, as well as when and where it can best benefit an organization. BCIS graduates use their knowledge of information systems and business to analyze situations, develop solutions to problems, and provide recommendations of technologies for new opportunities. BCIS graduates are capable of developing solutions for web, windows, and mobile environments, and they work in many industries throughout the world.
The McLane College of Business program in Business Computer Information Systems is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.

Hands-On IT Experience In
As the information technology director for an accounting firm in Waco, Don Abel gets to do it all – from managing the help desk techs to exploring new technologies to performing IT audits. The practical experience he got from his professors at UMHB is what helps him the most in every aspect of his job. “Talking about theory is one thing, but doing the actual work is a whole different ballgame,” he said. “When you walk in the door and people have technical issues to resolve, then the theory becomes practice at that point. UMHB prepared us well for the hands-on.”
