CIS is a rewarding and challenging field that allows for lifelong learning. Job opportunities abound, and salaries are relatively high. The demand for CIS graduates is increasing faster than the general demand for most other fields of study. Job seekers with a CIS degree and strong communication and administrative skills are in increasing demand. For a pdf brochure about the CIS program at ISU click here: Download brochure...

The ISU College of Business was the first college of business in Idaho to receive accreditation from AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) in 1978. AACSB accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide, and means that ISU is able to continuously pass a strict set of standards that ensure quality.

Dr. Parker

I am Chair and Professor of the Computer Information Systems Department at Idaho State University. I have been a faculty member in the College of Business since 1999. I've taught CIS classes for the College of Business, computer science classes for the College of Science and Engineering, and a GIS course for the College of Arts and Sciences. In 2010 I received a joint appointment to the Computer Science faculty in the College of Science and Engineering.

I was recognized as an Outstanding Master Teacher by Idaho State University in both 2011 and 2012, and was selected the 2011 Faculty Member of the Year by the Associated Students of Idaho State University. I also received the ISU College of Business 2002-2003 Outstanding Teacher Award.

I received the ISU College of Business 2005-2006 Outstanding Research Award, and in 2007 was awarded a Curtin University Research Fellowship in Perth, Australia.
