摘要:In 2008 the Ohio Board of Regents issued a strategic plan for higher education in Ohio. One direct outcome of the plan is the move to a common academic calendar for all state universities and community colleges. This specifically means that the four state universities still using the quarter system will be converting to semesters for the fall, 2012 semester. This calendar change provided a rare opportunity for our MIS program to revise and update our curriculum. While pressures from alumni, advisory boards, industry and the academic community were already suggesting that our curriculum was getting outdated, the mandate to transition from quarters to semesters triggered the change process. This paper describes the current quarter based curriculum, the process used to develop the new curriculum and the new curriculum model for our MIS program.
