Description
Summary:Is there a need to accredit graduate level programs in information systems and technology? The Association for Information Systems (AIS) seems to think so as it has expressed an interest in pursuing masters' level accreditation for information systems programs globally in the very near future. There is considerable value for AIS in taking this bold initiative. They currently participate in undergraduate computing accreditation through ABET via their membership and financial support of CSAB (AIS+ACM+IEEE-CS). Also, AIS is familiar with graduate level accreditation because of their involvement with AACSB International which accredits programs in the school of business at all levels.
