I'm sure you could find them somewhere. They're pretty much the most accurate depiction of CIS possible.

Associates Degree

FWIW, I have about 1.5 years of credits towards a CIS degree and I probably make more than 90% of the people on here. Not bragging or trying to show off my e-penis but just trying to make the point that a degree isn't everything. I don't even have one and I'm pulling in 6 figures.

CIS is like a degree that teaches you the basic components of business and computer. What you get in the end depends how much you can grasp and accept that incorporating technology into business is a science. CIS relates to application programming or network administration but if you look at CIS from an enterprise structure there is the component of IT governance and assurance, network infrastructure and security, application development, user Support and various other group. But behind these various breakdowns you have metrics and methodologies that help provide smooth transitions. And CIS is about using those metrics and methodologies to work easier. Heck aren?t we about system optimization? Fire everyone and system automation? LOL
