Before professor Rapien had presented to us, I had no thought about information systems. I thought it was a major that was like computer science or engineering, but it is something I am now interested in. After he presented, information systems is something I would like to pursue as either a major or minor. He told us how valuable information systems is and how it’s misconceived as a computer science like everyone thinks. I was interested throughout the whole presentation especially when he said that women and minorities tend to dominate this field if they are good at it. He told us how information systems pairs nicely as a major with just about anything else or would also be helpful to have as a minor. It is a well-paying career and for a minor, only 12 credit hours are needed. I’m looking forward to take the IS 2080 class next semester or fall of sophomore year, to see how I would like to incorporate it as a major or minor.
