摘要：Information Systems (IS) programs strive to prepare students for jobs in the Computer and IT industry. Theseprograms use various names, which causes confusion for students in choosing a program and understandingoccupations available for IS-related majors. This research study examined the differing names of IS programs inthree states, identified the main types of occupations, and evaluated three different IS programs and the IS 2010 modelcurriculum on how well the courses prepared students for these jobs, focusing on entry-level. The results showed thatthere are 20 different names for IS-related programs and two main tracks for entry-level occupations. Of the ISprograms evaluated, each prepared students for one of the main tracks but not the other (with a few minor exceptions).These results could be used by faculty to evaluate the type of IS program at their institution and make adjustments tobest suit the local job market.
