Description The Bachelor of Science in Bible/Theology and Computer Information Systems is a four-year program of study designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the Bible and computer information systems expertise. The program includes intensive study in three academic areas: Bible/theology, general education, and computer studies. Program Mission: To equip students to effectively analyze the computer technology requirements of a business or ministry, determine the computer systems and networks necessary to satisfy those requirements, and effectively manage the resulting information technology environment. Program Outcomes In addition to meeting the Bible and Theology outcomes, the student will be able to: 1. Analyze technology needs. Identify and analyze the information technology needs of a business or ministry and, using critical thinking skills, translate that analysis into a set of specifications that include items like capacities, access controls, user interfaces, data flows and repositories required to satisfy the needs identified. 2. Design a specified IT environment. The environment will be based on specifications generated through the analysis of a business or ministry, and will consist of computer hardware, software, databases and networks. 3. Communicate professionally. This would include commenting of programming code, presenting technical information clearly in an aural format, and documenting an information technology environment including software integration, database structures, computer and network security elements, configuration, directory services and other essential components of the environment. 4. Implement a technology solution. Assemble, configure, and troubleshoot a typical secure business computing environment based on specific documentation of system requirements, including networking, hardware and software integration, database design, and overall systems administration.
