Fundamentals of IT vs Management Information Systems: the same course?

Close. Oregon State's BA 370 lists “information systems technology, the strategic role of IT, the business applications of networks, databases and Internet technologies, and the development and implementation of information systems”: each one is a chapter of Computer Science 200. Penn State's MIS 204 adds “popular spreadsheet and database tools”, which our syllabus does not teach hands-on.

The information systems a business runs on: its people, processes, hardware, software and data. Penn State's MIS 204 covers “the role of information systems in business process design” and the technologies for storing, securing and communicating information that support operations and decision-making. Computer Science 200 has a chapter on each of those parts.

Yes. DSST lists 3 semester hours for its Management Information Systems exam, which tests “telecommunications; network security; systems analysis and design; business decision making; knowledge management; data warehousing; and data mining.” DSST says “The test fee is $100 per exam.”, before any test center fee, so it is the cheaper route if your college gives credit for it. A course suits you if you would rather learn the material in lessons first.

NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Computer Science among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0012).

Its NCCRS recommendation lists Computer Science, MIS, Informatics, or Information Science. Your college decides which requirement it fills.

Take it again: a failed Fundamentals of Information Technology final comes with one free retake (fail that and you restart the course). A passed final can be retaken too, but the original score stands; for quizzes, the average of your first two attempts counts.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. ACE recommends 3 semester hours (ACE ID UPIS-0012), and NCCRS lists MIS among the subjects for its 3 semester hours. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar which course Computer Science 200 would count as. For the registrar: Fundamentals of Information Technology's NCCRS recommendation lists Computer Science.
