<p>So I was looking at the IS school and Tepper school and I noticed that Tepper has a Computing and Information Technology track also. Whats the difference between IS and that program?</p>

<p>IS is its own dedicated program, while the Tepper IT track is some IT flavoring added to the business core.</p>

<p>IS is the way to go if you’re purely interested in information systems, since you’ll be dedicated to its study for 4 years. Meanwhile in Tepper you don’t track til Junior year, which is a turn off to many people who want to do deeper learning now.</p>

<p>Thanks for clarifying for me, after I posted I realized that Tepper is ranked under MIS, so I knew then that CIT (business one not engineer) was basically MIS. and IS is IS. One is more business oriented.</p>
