摘要:The number of U.S. students who choose Computer Information Systems (CIS), Management Information Systems (MIS), or Computer Science (CS) as a major has declined significantly in the last seven years. For many computing departments, it is imperative to seek ways to increase the number of enrollments. One such option is to develop and offer a new type of multi-disciplinary minor that incorporate computer- centric courses taught by CIS and other departments throughout the university. This paper describes a review of CIS minors offered at institutions in the U.S. The results of the review focus on information such as the type of minor, the number of credit hours, and the types of courses that are required. It is our hope that this study will provide information to assist a department considering curriculum changes.
