Information Systems
This course can be used as a study resource, for professional development, or to earn college credit by passing a CLEP™ exam (multiple-choice examination). Each college sets its own credit-granting policies for the exam, so check with your college admissions office, test center, or academic adviser before taking the test.
The Information Systems course covers material that is usually taught in an introductory one-semester college course in the subject. Information systems’ basic terminology and concepts will be tested as well as how to apply that knowledge. In-depth details of hardware design or programming techniques which are language-specific is not emphasized. Knowledge of specific products used in applications such as word processing or spreadsheets is not required. Approaches and techniques which apply to different products and application scenarios will be the exam’s focus. A first-year high school level knowledge of algebra is expected.

Information Systems textbooks differ on the precise definition of the systems development process or life cycle. To avoid ambiguity, CLEP™ defines the systems development process as consisting of the following discrete phases or stages:
1. Planning
2. Analysis
3. Design
4. Implementation
5. Maintenance
Information Systems
An information system (IS) is a formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information. In a sociotechnical perspective, information systems are composed by four components: task, people, structure (or roles), and technology.*
