Minor in Business Information Systems

(BIS) Minor Description: The Business Information Systems Management Minor focuses on how information systems are used to improve organizational performance and transform basic business structures appropriately. The minor is designed to develop and enhance skill sets needed for current or future careers across discipline fields and industries. The flexibility in the BIS minor enables students to acquire information systems skills most relevant to their career paths, major programs of study or secondary areas of interest. Upon completion of the minor, a student will be able to analyze, design and manage information systems and associated processes in a wide variety of organizations.

Minor in Healthcare Informatics

(HIM) Minor Description: Offered by the Business Information Systems programs in cooperation with the Computer Science program, the Business Administration program, and the BGS Public Health Program. Healthcare providers are introducing considerable resources in areas such as electronic medical records (EMR) and clinical systems. There is a potential for growth in employment in healthcare informatics since, as of 2009, only 7% of medical practices maintained EMRs. ECSU is the only institution of higher learning in Connecticut that offers courses in Healthcare Informatics as part of the Business Information Systems and Public Health BHS programs since 2009. The expected growth of jobs in Healthcare Information Technology and the liberal arts mission of the university justify the interdisciplinary minor in Healthcare Informatics. The program integrates courses from several disciplines to serve in emerging needs of the area. The interdisciplinary program will prepare students for several careers described by the American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM): application support and training, EMR consulting, desktop and network support, clinical analyst, business analyst, transition coordinators, data/information managers, privacy and security experts and health IT managers. The minor also compliments well with skills developed in programs such as Business Information Systems, Computer Science, Business Administration, Biology, Psychology, Health Science, and BGS Public Health.

Business Major

International Perspectives Requirement

The Eastern Business Major requires that a student possess an exposure to international perspectives. This requirement can be met in any of the follow ways:

1. Take two courses designated as being “International Perspective” courses such as any two of the following:

BUS 329 -- International Marketing BUS 437 -- International Finance BUS 362 -- Global Operations & Logistics BUS 450 – International Business BUS 370 -- Business Perspectives, Canada/US BUS 463 – Seminar Int’l Business

2. Take four years of the same foreign language in high school. (Permission of the department chair must be obtained.)

3. Take two or more years of one foreign language in high school and one year of the same foreign language at the college 200 level or higher of that same foreign language. Thus, one additional higher level college year of a foreign language beyond the basic university requirement is needed to fulfill the international perspectives requirement.

4. If you had three years of one foreign language in high school, you may either: A) take the second semester at the college 200 level or higher of that same foreign language, or B) take a one semester International Business Perspective course used to meet the International Business Perspective and not used towards any concentration with permission of the department chair obtained.

Example: Take 3 years of French in high school and you must therefore take a college 200 level French or higher level course in college. Your third year of high school French would earn you 3 credits but you still would need to take 3 credits of a 200 level second year college second semester or higher college course in French to meet the International Perspectives requirement. (Department chair permission must be obtained.)

5. Earn an international minor such as:

- Canadian Studies - Spanish - Latin American Studies - French

6. Either: A) Spend one semester in the “Study Abroad” program: See URL: http://www.easternct.edu/academicaffairs/studyabroad or call 860-465-5066

or B) For each Eastern Business Administration Major “Global Field Course” taken while touring and studying in another country, with Dept. of Business Administration Chair’s prior approval, the course may count as an International Perspective course: See URL: http://www.easternct.edu/ce/GlobalFieldCourses-home.htm or call 860-465-0207

7. Be an International Student either: A) being in the United States on an F-1 or J-1 Visa or B) being another category of International Student with department chair’s permission obtained.

Note:

You can NOT use the same business course as both an upper level business elective (9 credits required) and as an International Perspectives course.

To obtain an International Business concentration a minimum of 9 credits of international business prospective courses are required. If you are take international perspective courses for the International Perspectives Requirement, you may NOT use the same course(s) for both the International Perspective Requirement and International Business concentration.

Students entering Eastern prior to Fall 2007 entered under the General Educational Requirements GERs (see Advising Center /advisor for GER specifics). Students transferring to Eastern prior to Fall 2010 with 60 or more credits and whose progress towards graduating at Eastern will be significantly helped by completing the GERs may appeal being placed in the LAC to the Advisement Ctr.

1. For transfer students entering Eastern under the LACs with 60 or more credits, the following LAC requirement exceptions are noted:

A. Students transferring with 30 or more accepted credits will be exempt (waived) from completing LAC T1FYE – First Year Experience.

B. All students transferring to Eastern regardless of the courses transferred must complete at least two LAC Tier 2 courses from different Tier 2 categories and the LAC Tier 3 Capstone Independent Inquiry at ECSU.

4. When no specific Eastern course equivalent was assigned to a transferred course indicated by an Eastern complete course number and “T” for transfer on the Degree Evaluation report, The course may still possibly qualify as an elective for a major or minor and towards the total credits needed to graduate. (Note: Please see your major and/or minor program’s requirements for number of credits and specific courses required to be taken at Eastern.)

5. If you think that a course taken at another institution should be applied to meeting a specific Liberal Arts Core (LAC) instead of as a general elective as indicated by a “1xx” or “2xx” course number on your “Degree Evaluation Report”, you may appeal the initial non-specific transfer classification at the Advisement Center. Bring a copy of your other institution’s transcript and the syllabus for the course in question with you to the Advising Center (Library 109 – 860-465-4526)

University Honors Program Honors courses are frequently team-taught and involve off campus

experiences, and most Honors courses satisfy requirements in the University’s

Liberal Arts Core (LAC). The goal of the Honors Program is to provide

academically talented and venturesome students with an intellectually

stimulating alternate course of study, culminating in the completion of an

Honors Thesis reflective of quality undergraduate scholarship. Small classes,

interdisciplinary topics, and professors dedicated to teaching create an

atmosphere conducive to the open discussion of ideas and active learning. The

Honors Thesis requirement provides an opportunity for students to work

independently under the oversight of a faculty mentor.
