Purpose
The BSBA specialization in information systems
auditing and control (ISAC) is designed for
students who seek an integrated curriculum
of accounting, computer science, and management
information systems. Courses in programming
languages, database, data communications,
accounting information systems, auditing,
systems analysis, and design provide ISAC
graduates with knowledge required to assess
adequacy of the system of internal controls
for sophisticated computer-based systems.
While
the program is designed to prepare students
to become information systems auditing professionals,
many students who seek a career in management
information systems select ISAC as a second
specialization. The ISAC specialization provides
the student with additional training in financial
accounting, accounting information systems,
and design and analysis of internal control
systems.
Career
opportunities include areas of computer assurance
services, information systems auditing, computer
security, or management information systems.
Other graduates are hired by public accounting
and/or consulting firms in computer security
assessment and consulting practices or as
part of assurance services teams.
