Welcome
We are the teaching department for computing at Saint Vincent College:
a small, Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts and sciences college located in Latrobe,PA. The CIS department
offers a complete major in CIS.
The major currently has a choice of a
CS (computer science),
IT (information technology),
BIN (bioinformatics), or
SEC (computer security) concentration.
The minor is flexible,
allowing specializations in areas such as computer security, web technologies, databases,
mathematics & computing, and programming languages.
