The iSchool at Drexel offers a Bachelors of Science in Information Systems (BSIS), which was instituted to meet the growing demand for individuals skilled in the development of information systems and the management of information. This forward-looking program for undergraduates offers a solid background in liberal arts and sciences as well as the skills and knowledge needed to design, create, manage, and effectively use modern information systems. The BSIS is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

The information systems curriculum has no single application focus. It is directed to the art and science of managing information in all application environments. Students learn how to determine information needs, design appropriate information systems, manage those systems, and measure the systems performance. The emphasis is on the users of computers, and on building professional-level information system skills.

The BSIS major is offered as both a five-year program, involving three six-month periods of employment through the University's co-operative education program, and a four-year program, involving one six-month period of co-op employment.
