Information Systems
A Technology Concentration Applied to the World of Business Administration
The BBA concentration in Information Systems is for working adults who are beginning or advancing their technology career or who want to apply their knowledge of technology to business environments. Here you’ll earn about data mining, data warehousing, networks, programming, app development, project management, and analytics, some of the hottest technology job markets.
The broad-based Bachelor of Business Administration degree provides the working adult student the knowledge in multiple areas of business needed to make better decisions that help any organization reach its objectives. The information systems technology focus provides a critical area of expertise for all organizations — data is everywhere. A graduate who only knows one function of a business has limited potential; a graduate who knows all functions of a business has unlimited potential.
The Information Systems technology program at Catawba College enables working adults to be enrolled as full-time students while attending hybrid classes with face-to-face meetings one evening a week and one additional evening per month. If you prefer even more flexibility, you can complete this degree fully online from any place with internet access.

Double-Concentration
The Information Systems technology concentration also works well with other concentrations, providing for a stronger resume for high-income career advancement. Being a technology expert is important but knowing how data and systems can support all functions of business is critical. The added concentration can often be completed by replacing electives with concentration courses, a true gain for the graduate who ends up with a stronger resume.
