About IS & MIS

 Some “MIS and IS syllabus” examples

My own observations:

• Not all entries are of the same knowledge calibre !

• Some links are from my “directory of bookmarks” hosted by free.fr (deleted now). It covered a wide range of IT&C topics. A page was dedicated to MIS syllabus.

• Look at this 1999 syllabus focusing the Introduction in MIS.

As you can see, there are differences between a MIS and an IS syllabus knowledge from year to year. The technology and the computing network evolved dramatically. Each instructor (teacher) should insist on some aspects. It is impossible to cover all aspects. But it is an instructor’s duty to have a complete syllabus accessible to a particular group of students.
