摘要：Information Systems is an ever-changing field that requires constant updates. In order for university curricula to reflect changes in the field, it is of great importance to understand the key topics being covered by the Information Systems programs. Not only do the education providers need to know the current trends in the field but also the education receivers. In this paper, top 10 MBA in Information Systems programs are analyzed using grounded theory. In total, 169 courses were collected from the programs and classified into managerially oriented and technically oriented groups. In sum, 54 unique managerial courses were found and 42 unique technical courses were identified. Information Systems Strategy and Supply Chain Management are the most commonly covered managerial courses, while Data Mining is the most commonly offered technical course. Based on the coverage of courses, the University of Texas at Austin stands out among the 10 programs. The University of Pennsylvania has the strongest emphasis on managerially oriented IS courses, while Carnegie Mellon University has the strongest focus on Information Systems technology.
