Prospective Tracks in the MSIS 2000 Model Curriculum Framework

The latest report on MSIS 2000: Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Graduate Degree Programs in Information Systems introduced Career Tracks as one of the curriculum building blocks. A career track consists of four or more related electives that provides students an opportunity for specialization within information systems. This paper elaborates on the implementation and advantages of career tracks in areas ranging from information security to project management and provides comprehensive details on constituent courses and structure. We hope this paper will stimulate thinking about how one might introduce career/specialty tracks in a traditional MSIS program.
