Abstract: The importance of creativity in the Information Systems area has been long debated. Creativity has been included in the IS Model Curriculum since 1995. The current IS 2002 Model Curriculum and the IS '97 Model curriculum are compared and contrasted with regard to their inclusion of the topic of creativity. Based on this review, a proposal for a revision to the IS Model Curriculum relative to the role of creativity is presented.

Keywords: creativity, creative problem solving, innovation, education, model curriculum
