This study will examine the experience of a university that has created an active advisory board for a graduate MIS program and involved the board members in curriculum revision and along with faculty members in conducting a capstone seminar. The capstone seminar may be viewed as meld of “best practices” in IT management from the view-point of a diversified portfolio of healthcare, public and private university, banking, aerospace, manufacturing, home appliance, and automotive industries. The capstone seminar captures key MIS elements of technology and business and is incorporated as the highest quality educational experience in business. This partnership brings effective and collaborative relevance in education between research scholars, senior industry executives, and students. The amalgamation of industrial knowledge, professional perspectives, content relevance, and up-to-date coverage of topics effectuate high academic expectations monitored through multiple student deliverables.
