    Information Systems are products of Information Technology developed which enables storage, manipulation and distribution of information. IT is the branch or sector which deals with the management of information.

    In other word, Information systems is software (programs) and Information technology is hardware (installing things in computers).

    IS students take the Business core and approach computing from the perspective of a manager in the business world. IT does not focus on any single domain in which IT is practiced, but instead focuses on the selection, integration and deployment of computing technology throughout society.

    Bsc Information Technology is more general. Computer Science is more specific to computers.
