Title
Undergraduate Special Topics Courses: What's on the Menu?
Abstract
As faculty and curriculum developers, we were interested in how other schools utilize undergraduate special topics courses in Information Systems (IS). A review of the literature identified no articles that specifically addressed the issue. To gather data, a survey of the IS programs at colleges and universities in the United States was conducted. It was found that 30% of the respondents offered one or more undergraduate special topics course. The most popular categories of courses were: E-commerce, Security, and Data Warehouses. Fifteen courses were grouped into a category called Other Courses. Somewhat surprising was that not one school reported offering a special topics course on Web 2.0 and its related technologies. Conclusions and future research are discussed.
