Department and University Community
The Department of Computer Information Systems is one of five departments in the College of Business. The department, founded in 1964, was one of the first CIS departments in the country. The department currently has 12 full-time faculty member,s and enrollment in both our undergraduate and master's programs is increasing. The College of Business offers an undergraduate program and several graduate programs, including a graduate program in global sustainable enterprise. Our students are actively engaged in the College and the community and consistently perform well in national and international competitions. The College also has a dedicated facility for behavioral research, which includes a focus group room, central research studio, control room, and five small team rooms.

The College of Business at Colorado State University was among the first to offer an AACSB accredited distance MBA degree. That program streams lectures of an on-campus cohort to as many as 500 off-campus students in 20 different time zones. The CIS department recently started delivery of our MS degree using this same model.  We currently have several hundred students enrolled in the MS-CIS program. In this program, faculty work closely with an experienced team of adjunct instructors to deliver rigorous, high-touch education.

Colorado State University has recently been ranked as the premier research university in the state of Colorado, with world-class research in infectious disease, atmospheric science, clean energy technologies, and environmental science. CSU offers among the very best professional programs in the country in veterinary medicine, agriculture, and construction management.
