Seems like CS would be more math and theory oriented... MIS would be more buisness oriented? Just also trying to get a feel for what kind of job someone with CS or MIS would get

Yep.. The MIS here is in the College Of Business, so you take the business core (accounting, statistics, marketing, management, etc, etc). Then you take a few VB, SQL, etc, kind of classes, as well as a few management classes. Mostly, its a business degree. CS, on the other hand, has an empasis on computers- programming, hardware, math, algorithms, networks, all sorts of approaches to computing, some inside and some outside the business spectrum.
But basically.. yep. You hit the nail on the head. MIS is a business degree, and you might know the basics of how to program. CS, you know everything about computers, but almost nothing about business. At least, thats the way it works here.
