Abstract: Modern digital technologies are advancing rapidly, driving transformative changes. For Information Systems (IS) educators, maintaining curricula that prepare graduates for the digital economy is imperative. This study developed a knowledge pool of 121 common keywords in digital transformation through literature review and investigated their application in the titles and descriptions of 4,093 IS courses across 315 undergraduate programs in the United States. The findings illustrate how IS educators conceptualize the digital transformation within the IS discipline and incorporate it into curricula. Additionally, the results offer insights for educators aiming to develop course content on digital transformation and update IS undergraduate curricula to align with the demands of modern enterprises in the era of digital transformation.
