  • Health听and听physical education听courses give you the knowledge to cope with everyday stress and lead a better, longer life.

Having a college education will give you the tools to succeed in life. Having a liberal arts education will give you the opportunity to take your success further.

Employment of computer and information system engineering occupations is projected to grow 12 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. These occupations are expected to add about 488,500 new jobs, from about 3.9 million jobs to about 4.4 million jobs from 2014 to 2024, in part due to a greater emphasis on cloud computing, the collection and storage of big data, more everyday items becoming connected to the Internet in what is commonly referred to as the 鈥淚nternet of things,鈥 and the continued demand for mobile computing.

The median annual wage for computer and information technology occupations was $79,390 in May 2014, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $35,540 according to .

A degree in information system engineering opens the door to a wide range of career opportunities. According to the听recommendation听from Computing Curricula Association for Computing Machinery(ACM) and IEEE-Computer Society, there is听a strong need to add the topics of Security as well as Parallel and Distributed Computing.听As CS expands to include more cross-disciplinary work and new programs of the form 鈥淐omputational Biology,鈥 鈥淐omputational Engineering,鈥 and 鈥淐omputational X鈥 are developed, it is important to embrace an outward-looking view that sees CS as a discipline actively seeking to work with and integrate into other disciplines.听

    Students who major in听computer science听and听information systems engineering听can pursue careers such as:

    At JCSU, we understand that experience is the best teacher.

    That鈥檚 why we offer our students countless opportunities for hands-on research with impressive project topics and big-name organizations. You鈥檒l have the opportunity to spend your summer building professional websites, creating apps and games, analyzing data using data mining techniques, developing solutions for cybersecurity issues, investigating genomics data using bioinformatics tools, and conducting applied research鈥 you鈥檒l get paid for it too.

    Not only do we provide exciting high-tech research opportunities, our faculties are dedicated to developing a one-on-one relationship with you so you get the most out of your JCSU education
