Department Overview

The Department of Computer Information Systems (CIS) was established in 2009 in response to the rapid development and evolving needs of the information technology field. Initially, the Computer Information Systems specialization was offered under the Information Technology Department within the Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Engineering. The program was first introduced in the 2002/2003 academic year. Following the establishment of the Faculty of Information Technology in 2009, the Computer Information Systems specialization became an independent department alongside the Departments of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

The department is supported by a distinguished team of highly qualified faculty members with extensive academic and professional expertise. The academic staff includes six faculty members holding PhD degrees, three of whom are Professors and three Associate Professors, in addition to three faculty members holding Master's degrees, supported by dedicated administrative staff. This diverse and experienced team contributes to creating an academic environment that promotes excellence in teaching, learning, and scientific research.

The Computer Information Systems Department has obtained accreditation from the relevant higher education accreditation authority in Jordan, reflecting its commitment to academic quality and continuous improvement.
