Bachelor of Science - Informatiktechnologie und Informationssysteme

Acquire highly marketable knowledge and skills that are needed just about everywhere — from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies — as a Computing Technology and Information Systems major or minor.

All CTIS students take foundational courses in computer programming and management information systems; an advanced core with Database Systems (introducing modern data storage techniques using relational databases), Operating Systems (principles and applications of how these key technologies work); and a capstone course in which students apply their learning to a project of their interest.

Each CTIS student focuses on either Information Technology or Information Systems. The Information Technology track focuses on the application of computing hardware and software. Networking Computers introduces students to network architectures and telecommunication protocols, while Advanced Computer Programming gives deeper practice with modern programming practices.

Guilford’s longstanding mission is clear and distinctive: Provide a transformative, practical, and excellent education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment that is guided by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace, and simplicity and emphasizes the creative problem-solving skills, experience, enthusiasm, and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world.

Guilford College is grounded in the relentless pursuit of its seven Core Values. These enduring values are the basis of the College’s mission and are guided by the Quaker testimonies. The College was founded by the Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1837, and their principles are reflected in the campus culture.
