As we continue our stream of research on the AIS major in
the business school curriculum, it would be helpful to
explore the reasons why some universities do not presently
offer the AIS major and, if not now, do they plan to offer one
in the near future. Perhaps some business schools lack the
funds necessary to offer and staff the additional courses
needed. Or, it could it be the difficulty in finding the
qualified faculty with the appropriate skills needed to teach
the AIS courses. Within the AACSB guidelines, there are a
limited number of hours available for courses in the major.
Curriculum planners are perhaps struggling with the decision
of which major courses or topics to eliminate in order to
make room for AIS content. An additional reason for not
offering the AIS major could be that AIS content is not an
important need for graduates of accounting programs in
some localities or regions.
