E-Networking

Course Title 

Course Prerequisite

 From: E-Networking

To: Networking II

From: CIS 350 Computer Hardware, Data Communications and Networking

To: CIS 405 Local Area Networks (CIS 383)

The number and name changes make it clearer that CIS 383 and CIS 385 are sequenced courses covering networking topics and must be taken in the appropriate order.

CIS 405

(Unique)

Local Area Networks

Course Number

Course Title

From: 405

To: 383

From: Local Area Networks

To: Networking I

The number and name changes makes it clearer that CIS 383 and CIS 385 are sequenced courses covering networking topics and must be taken in the appropriate order.  The previous course names (LAN and E-networking) do not accurately address the division of topics between these courses.  Since CIS 405 (to become CIS 383) is a prerequisite to CIS 385, the lower number seems more appropriate. 

CIS 414

Computer Security Fundamentals

Course Prerequisite

From:  CIS 385 or CIS 405

The content covered in this security course is increasingly complex.  To do well in the course, students must have a strong networking background (provided in CIS 405 (renumbered 383) and CIS 385.)

Legal Aspects of Health Information Management

Credit Hours

From:  2

To:  3

HIM 170 covers legal aspects of medical data in the health information management field.  Due to increasing regulations in the area of privacy and security, HIM 170 is being increased by one credit to allow for increased coverage of these topics.  The expanded content will better fit the changing trends in the health information management field.

Alternative Site Health Information Management

Credit Hours

From:  3

HIM 250, currently a 3-credit class with a lab, is an introductory course on alternative healthcare settings in the HIM field.  The students receive an introduction to health information management in the hospital setting in HIM 150 and this course builds on that foundation to examine similar topics in alternate settings.  Content related to basic health information management issues is being adequately covered in HIM 150, making it possible to reduce the credit requirements in HIM 250. (As noted above, 1 additional credit has been added to HIM 170 and the content of that course expanded.)
