  Computer Information Systems Department
   
The Computer Information Systems department offers the two-year (Associate) degree in one of two majors. Computer Science is a fast-growing major that focuses on computer programming and related skills with an orientation towards mathematics while Information Systems is a major that, while entailing computer programming as well, looks at a number of computer-related skills such as digital multimedia, software applications, and computer hardware and often has a business orientation. Mineral Area College offers these degrees as well as hosting a four-year university (Central Methodist University) that also offers the B.S. in Computer Science on the MAC campus. Generally, Computer Science courses have a CSC prefix, while Computer Information Systems courses have a CIS prefix. Some courses from either the CSC or the CIS areas can be used for either major (Computer Science or Information Systems).
