Information systems curricula at schools of higher education are constantly under pressure to update curricula to reflect current industry trends. Alumni from the 1990s of a Midwest liberal arts institution were asked to evaluate the business core, information systems core, and elective courses. The comparative value was analyzed. The perceived content value, in terms of quantity, for the information systems core was analyzed.
