Department of Software and Information Systems




The Department of Software and Information Systems provides a range of courses and concentrations related to the design, management, and security of software systems with an emphasis on information technology.  The department offers courses in information technology design and management; software systems design, architecture, integration, and implementation; human centered design and interaction, cybersecurity, health informatics, and intelligent and complex systems. 

Degree Programs

The Department of Software and Information Systems offers both undergraduate and graduate programs.  The undergraduate majors lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science.  The Software and Information Systems concentrations included in these degrees described below are technically part of the Computer Science major but for administrative and advising purposes, students completing these concentrations are members of the Department of Software and Information Systems.

Graduate study leads to a Master of Science (M.S.) in Information Technology or Cybersecurity.  Graduate certificate programs are also available.  See the UNC Charlotte Graduate Catalog for information on these graduate programs.  

To assist with their studies, students have access to advanced computer labs and software where they can practice and experiment in controlled environments.  In addition, the department maintains a high degree of interaction with working industry professionals who provide real-world expertise and experience.
