Draft information systems accreditation criteria for 2006

ABSTRACT

General Accreditation Criteria has been developed by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET, Inc. (SIGCSE Bulletin, December 2003) with the requirement that the Criteria will apply to all computing programs CAC evaluates. The Criteria is posted on the ABET web site for comments. Current program-specific criteria of information systems and computer science must be updated to meeting the General Criteria. Program-specific criteria may not weaken General Criteria but may include additional and stronger criteria. What follows is a draft version of information systems program criteria. It is based on August 18, 2003 version of CAC's General Criteria and November 2003 version of Program Criteria for Computer Science.
