Liberty CSIS 110: Introduction to Computing Sciences
CSIS 110 is Liberty's survey of the computing field — hardware, software, networks, data, programming concepts, and computing careers — and the entry course for the computer science and information systems programs. It gives breadth before the dedicated programming courses go deep.

Build my CSIS 110 study planWhat makes it hard
Breadth is the difficulty: each week is a different computing domain with its own vocabulary, and assessments pull from all of them. Students with IT experience coast through some modules and get surprised by others; the introductory programming content is the first wall for true beginners.
What you'll cover
- • Computer hardware and architecture basics
- • Operating systems and software
- • Networks and the internet
- • Data and databases overview
- • Introductory programming concepts
- • Computing careers and ethics
The CSIS 110 study guide
How to study for Liberty CSIS 110, step by step.
- 1
Map each week's domain on day one
CSIS 110 hops to a new computing domain weekly — hardware, networks, data, programming. Seeing the full sequence up front tells you exactly which weeks will need extra room.
- 2
Flashcard the vocabulary-dense modules
Each domain has its own terminology and the assessments pull from all of them. A small running deck reviewed daily keeps eight weeks of vocabulary from piling up into one bad quiz.
- 3
Give the programming weeks extra time
The introductory programming content is the first real wall for beginners, and those concepts return for real in the next CSIS courses. Front-load attention there even if other weeks feel light.
- 4
Don't coast through the familiar modules
Students with IT experience breeze past some domains and get surprised by others. Skim what you know, but verify with the module's quiz outcomes before assuming.

FAQ
Is CSIS 110 hard?
It's an introductory survey, so depth is limited — the challenge is vocabulary breadth across hardware, networking, data, and programming. Beginners find the programming-concepts weeks the steepest part.
Does CSIS 110 involve programming?
It introduces programming concepts and logic, but it's not a full programming course — the dedicated coding courses come next in the CSIS sequence. Treat its programming weeks as a preview worth taking seriously.
Do I need CSIS 110 for Liberty's IT or CS degrees?
It's the standard entry course for Liberty's computing programs. Students with significant transfer credit or certifications should check their degree completion plan for possible substitutions.
