This paper critically analyses the relevance and usefulness of model IS curriculum such as IS'97. It argues that the evolution of IS as a discipline has now rendered model curricula of this type obsolete, and suggests the basis for a new approach to model curriculum development, which is more in keeping with the needs of the discipline.

Keywords: information systems education, curriculum, information systems curriculum, model curriculum, IS'97
