Prepare for high-demand jobs in web development, software engineering and information technology


As an adult student in our undergraduate Computer Information Systems program, you can expect the same individualized attention from faculty and academic and career advisors as you would in a more traditional setting. You’ll work one-on-one with an advisor who will help you stay on track and make sure you’re taking the correct courses. 

According to the National Association of College and Employers, computer science is one of the best paying four-year degrees a student can earn, and our  learning experiences take place from the first class through the last so you’re prepared to work with industry-standard technology as soon as you graduate.

You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in professional networking and career building experiences, such as the Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance and the Oracle Academic Initiative, which offers experiences in an extensive range of software for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX based systems.

Tuition Costs

We're committed to making sure our graduate programs are accessible and affordable for all students.

Financial Aid

Students in this program are eligible for federal financial aid, and we allow an interest-free grace period for students receiving employer reimbursement. 

Transfer Credits

We accept transfer credits from other accredited institutions. Transcripts are evaluated to determine how many credits will transfer, as well as how a student’s former coursework meets Simpson’s degree requirements.

Take Advantage of Every Opportunity

 

Save up to $9,000 on tuition

We value the work you've already done and think it should count toward your degree. If you’re at least 25 years of age and classified as a freshman or sophomore at Simpson, you can submit a Life Experience Portfolio during the admissions process. The LEP can earn up to 24 credits free of charge.

 

Employer Reimbursement Cuts Interest Costs

Many employers reimburse their employees’ tuition after a class has been completed, and we offer the chance to delay payment until 45 days after the term ends. You won’t have to pay until after the course ends.

 

We're transfer friendly

During the application process, you'll submit transcripts of previous undergraduate work from other accredited institutions if applicable. Transcripts are then evaluated to determine how many credits will transfer, as well as how your former coursework meets Simpson’s degree requirements.
