摘要：IS program enrollments have been significantly decreasing in the last 3 years nationwide. This paper presents a case study to address this important issue by integrating business acumen with IT skills in course design. Students in the integrated course express greater satisfaction with this course compared to other non-integrated courses. We found that students master business skills more readily, and enjoy them more, when they are integrated with technical skills. Furthermore, we have evidence that they are better positioned in the job market. Both of these factors may help explain the increased enrollments of our IS program. In addition, students develop business analysis and technical design skills which are difficult to outsource.
