Guidelines for Development of an Online Baccalaureate Degree in Information Systems
Abstract
Colleges and universities are entering the online education arena in increasing numbers. However, little information is available about what is needed to provide students with a quality information systems (IS) educational experience via the Internet. The web-based delivery of four-year IS programs is a recent innovation and little empirical evidence exists to suggest “best practices” in IS online education. This paper examines and synthesizes IS education criteria from two sources: the Computer Sciences Accreditation Commission which recently established criteria for accrediting programs in information systems, and the Regional Accrediting Commissions which issued guidelines for the evaluation of electronically offered degree and certificate programs. The result is a set of guidelines for the development of online baccalaureate programs in Information Systems that addresses both IS and online accreditation requirements.
