Tóm tắt

Information systems curricula at schools of higher education are constantly compelled to update curricula to reflect industry trends and technology enhancements while simultaneously constrained by available credit hour limitations. In an effort to balance constraints with advancing technology objectives, a Midwest liberal arts institution has implemented a mechanism for the ongoing assessment of alumni. This assessment was conducted in the year 2000 for alumni from the 1990s and in 2003 for graduates from 2000 to 2002. Using 1998 as an appropriate breakpoint because of the advancement of the Web and Y2K issues, alumni responses were compared across time.
