Accounting/Information Systems (AIS) Certificate Program

 

 

The AIS certificate will prepare undergraduate students for careers that bridge accounting and
information systems. We have seen an increase in recent years in both student and
employer interest in a curriculum that prepares students for careers in consulting,
internal audit, external audit, or other positions where more than a basic knowledge of
either accounting or MIS is necessary.

 

To obtain an AIS certificate, an undergradauate student must:

  • Complete the requirements for one of the undergraduate business majors;
  • Meet with an AIS certificate advisor (Dr. Ron Premuroso or Dr. David Firth);
  • Complete the certificate application with the undergraduate graduation application (w/fee); and
  • Complete the following courses, with a GPA of 3.0 or better in these courses (NOTE: Courses listed as co-reqs can be taken with or before the course; courses listed as pre-reqs must be taken before the course):
