COMP 210: Introduction to Information Systems and Computer Applications Report a Broken Link
COMP 210 Introduction to Information Systems and Computer Applications is designed as a three-credit course to cover fundamentals of information systems for students not planning to major in information systems (this course should NOT be taken by students planning further studies in the field of computer science). The course will cover basic hardware concepts; the structure, or architecture, of computers; the software hierarchy from systems software to application programs; and information systems concepts and development at a somewhat less intense level than COMP 200.
