Abstract:

The redesigned Computer Information Systems degree is compared with the work of the Joint IS 2010

curriculum task force published as the IS 2010: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree

Programs in Information Systems and sponsored by The Association for Computing Machinery and The

Association for Information Systems. A historical review is made available which demonstrates the

curriculum from 1984 as well as a demographic review of the students declaring the major at this small,

but technologically gifted university. Are the efforts enough for the major to be a focal point once again

of the interests of the undergraduate student population?
