ABOUT THE MINOR

The goal of the 20-credit minor program in Information Systems (IS) is to provide Ramapo College students with an option to develop a competency in the field of information systems/technology which will complement their major program of study.  Students with a minor in Information Systems will be better prepared to work in their major fields since information systems/technology is an integral component of the world today.  A minor in Information Systems should have strong appeal for students majoring in accounting who are required to earn 150 credits of academic coursework in order to qualify for the CPA examination.

The minor program in Information Systems consists of five (5) information systems courses plus the prerequisite course INDO 224 Principles of Information Technology, a required course for all ASB students.

The program requirements are the following:
