In my College, a comparable program to the CIS degree is the IST degree, Information Sciences and Technology. It seems like this degree is closer to yours than CS (Computer Science) in that it focuses more on the business aspect than the science aspect. It gives you enough knowledge to know what php, asp, and c++ is, but not enough to program in it.
Anyway, my #1 suggestion is to get an internship/co-op. When you look for a job when you graduate, they don't care that you have a degree really. This mainly shows you can stick with something for 4(+) years to completion. The degree will help you with your salary in the long run, but for getting a job after you graduate your experience is what helps the most. I know I wouldn't have the job I have today without working in a tech field while I was in college.
Depending on what kind of company you intern with, you can actually get a good feeling what a SA does, and if you like it.
