Bachelor
of Information Systems (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Information Systems
(BS) program objective is to help students
obtain a strong foundation in information
technology principles and practice with
an emphasis on applications of information
technology rather than the computer itself;
some of the core technology areas include
computer architecture, programming, operating
systems, data communication, systems analysis
and design, database applications, and project
management. The Bachelor of Information
Systems (BS) program is offered online via
distance learning. After evaluating both
academic record and life experience, AIU
staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Bachelor of Information Systems
(BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.
