Abstract
To keep up with the fast-changing world of information technologies (IT), information systems (IS) education programs need to be assessed regularly in terms of curriculum and teaching methods. This article reports the results of a survey of 240 faculty members in its undergraduate programs representing 193 higher education institutions in the United States. Analyses of the data suggest that during the period 1991-1996 these programs have undergone dramatic changes to include coverage of the Internet, networking, and client/server-related topics. Meanwhile, traditional IS courses in such areas as mainframe operating systems, COBOL programming, and decision support systems have declined in importance. The information provided in this article should be valuable to IS educators and curriculum designers and could aid practitioners in their understanding of IS graduates. It also sheds some light on the future of IS education programs.
