Thirteen AIS programs were identified in late 2003. We obtained a syllabus from each of the courses in these thirteen AIS programs. We entered the content of each syllabus into a database. Using content analysis, we combined similar topics until we arrive at the 56 core content areas listed in Table 1. For example, a course titled “Database Management” may have a unit on data modeling with Entity Relationship Diagrams. A similar unit of instruction may be found in a course titled “Accounting Information Systems.” For this reason there may be overlapping content (e.g., data modeling, database design, and database normalization). Further detail of how the AIS programs were identified and analyzed is in an earlier publication (Dillon and Kruck, 2004)
