Bachelor of Commerece (Honours) with Information Systems Concentration
ObjectivesThe explosion of technology in the private and public sector has created enormous demand for information systems professionals who can walk the walk, and talk the talk, with both IT professionals and business people. Information systems professionals need to understand, and be able to use technology to help business become more competitive. Bridging the needs of business and IT is a specialized skill, and one that will only become more valuable as new technologies continue to be adopted in the marketplace. Students who successfully complete Sprott’s Bachelor of Commerce with a concentration in information systems have the best of both worlds: a thorough understanding of business and the technological-savvy to translate business needs into concrete systems requirements for IT.
