Abstract: This paper presents the justification for a dedicated course called Information Systems Security (ISS) to be added as an elective course to the Undergraduate Information Systems (IS) Curriculum Model. The rationale and purpose for the development and implementation of such a course is provided. The IS'97 Model Curricula is used as the framework for discussion of the course and a suggestion is made for the proper placement of the course within the IS curriculum based on this model. A basic framework and design of the course is presented and instructional strategies and competency levels are discussed.

Keywords: IS curriculum model, IS security, course design
