IMS Department Program Coordinators
If you have questions pertaining to particular courses, certificates or degrees within the IMS department, please contact one of the program coordinators.  

Academic Advising
The IMS department offers several certificate programs and two degrees: Management Information Systems A.A.S. and Office Systems and Applications A.A.S. The A.A.S. is a career degree and is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution in its entirety; however, many of the courses within the degree will transfer.  Students planning to transfer should coordinate those efforts with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center, which is located in the College Center, C240. Call (708) 974-5721 to make an appointment. Students wishing to pursue a four-year degree may also consider 2+2 programs which allow students to transfer with an A.A.S. degree. Examples of such programs are the Business and Applied Science degree at Governors State University and the Bachelor of Science in Professional Arts with a specialization in Applied Organizational Management at the University of St. Francis, Joliet.

Counseling and Career Development Center
Counselors provide educational counseling to help students select a major, career counseling to help decide a career direction, academic counseling to help improve grades, and counseling for students who want to discuss personal problems. The center is located in the College Center, C220. Call (708) 974-5722 for more information.
