Abstract

In 2010, the “IS 2010 Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs” was released as a joint project between the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Association for Information Systems (AIS). This set of guidelines was meant to provide guidance regarding the core content of the Information Systems curriculum that should be present everywhere. However, just how present is the recommended curriculum? We investigate 509 AACSB-accredited schools in the United States to determine the penetration of IS 2010. The results show that while some of the recommended courses are found in high concentration, others have not received as much traction.
