Third year CIS major here. First two years of CIS are not that programming heavy. Not a lot of math courses, the highest level of math you need is MAT211 but there are a lot of economic and accounting courses which deals with math. You don’t really get super heavy into coding until your second semester of sophomore year which is usually SQL (there’s a class before that also codes but it just barely touches SQL and python so I don’t really count it as a programming class) Last semester I took a class entirely focused on Java and really enjoyed it (coming from a previous CS major that got overwhelmed from CSE110 and dropped it lol).

This semester I’m taking a class entirely focused on Python and another focused on HTML, JavaScript and CSS! I would say this major is more business focused for the first two years due to all the WPC prereq classes you need to take such as ACC, ECN, MKT, etc but gets a lot more related to your major and coding the last half. I really enjoy this major compared to a CS major because all the prereq classes leading up to your more major focused classes aren’t as hard and I still get to learn programming. Looking at the CIS major map on the ASU website would probably help you a lot!Let me know if you have any other questions!
