BBIS combines management, informatics, and communication rather than treating business and computing as separate areas. Management courses include accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, human resource management, operations, entrepreneurship, international business, and strategic management.
The computing side covers programming, information systems technology, database management, computer networks, operating systems, data structures and algorithms, systems analysis and design, information security, web technology, and software engineering. Mathematics, statistics, economics, research methodology, communication, psychology, sociology, and critical thinking support the broader academic structure.
The curriculum progresses from foundational business, communication, mathematics, economics, and computing subjects to more specialized management and information systems study.
