摘要：Recruiting for IT professionals and preparing them for the job market appear to be two
different things. Colleges typically go to great pains to distinguish between computer science,
MIS, computer engineering, software engineering, and a host of other IT-related majors.
However, when recruiters come to campus and job descriptions are posted on the
internet, the story is quite different. The cry is for IT (information technology) people who may
major in any of the above-mentioned technology tracks.
This study investigates and identifies the difference in preparation of IT-related majors on
four factors: business knowledge and skills, technology competence, project management
competence, and team competence. The study identifies the differences and similarities in
preparation and competence in each of four IT related majors. The results have implications for
both educators and recruiters.
