    Please do not confuse Computer Science with Computer Information Sciences.
    CIS is a branch of the old Management Information Sciences majors.  It is
    designed to teach people how to manage (cough, cough) computer systems for
    corporate use.  CS is, at least at most of the schools I've seen, the study
    of the science and design of computers.

    CE (I assume you mean Computer Engineering instead of Civil Engineering)
    is usually taught as a subfield of Computer Science or Electrical
    Engineering.
