Abstract

As of February 2005 there were 11 IS programs at 10 universities accredited by ABET. This paper compares 10 of these accredited IS programs to a sample of 20 universities chosen from the 251 IS programs in the US listed by ISWorld. The data was collected by visiting the web pages of the selected universities. This paper includes a study of the required IS courses, elective IS courses, required programming courses, required business courses, title of the IS program (IS/MIS/CIS), and the department and college where the IS program is located. It is interesting to note that none of the accredited IS degrees are BBA degrees. This study points out several significant differences between the accredited IS programs and the typical BBA IS programs at the sample universities.
