Abstract: In this paper, we compare the performance of Computer Information Systems (CIS) majors on the Information Systems Analyst (ISA) Certification Exam. The impact that the form of delivery of infor-mation systems coursework may have on the exam score is studied. Using a sample that spans three years, we test for significant differences between scores obtained on three of the areas of the ISA exam by CIS majors who completed the coursework via classroom delivery with those who completed the coursework via online delivery. Results from the study are analyzed and conclusions discussed. Opportunities for further study are proposed.
