Abstract: This paper uses a survey of over 330 colleges of business to examine: 1) Whether an Information Systems core course is employed by the college? 2) What content this required course contains? 3) How many colleges are now requiring students to take a basic computer literacy course prior to taking any of the core sequence? From these three key questions, other related questions were posed for the survey.
Keywords: foundation course, computer literacy, Information Systems curriculum
