In addition to the Junior Core courses, the Management Core courses and a few other courses are required in order to graduate with a BSIS degree. Information about the Management Core courses and the other required courses are also outlined below. Junior CoreOverviewFull of team work, problem solving, and mentally straining activities, the Junior Core provides students with rich exposure to the world of Information Systems. Students are randomly assigned to four-person groups for both the Fall and Winter semesters of the Junior Core. To describe the intensity and demands of the Junior Core, Gary Hansen, an Information Systems Professor, shares his infamous advice at each Junior Core orientation meeting. He says, "Kiss your spouse/significant other good-bye, and tell him/her, 'See you in April!'" Even though you will devote a significant amount of time to the demands of the Junior Core, you will leave the Junior Core having a rich understanding of essential business principles and technology application. You will also possess a unique set of team-work, problem solving, and technical skills. CoursesThe following are lists of courses taught in the Junior Core: Fall Semester Junior Core
