MSIS 2016 Global Competency Model for Graduate Degree Programs in Information Systems

This document, "MSIS 2016: Global Competency Model for Graduate Degree Programs in Information Systems", is the latest in the series of reports that provides guidance for degree programs in the Information Systems (IS) academic discipline. The first of these reports (Ashenhurst, 1972) was published in the early 1970s, and the work has continued ever since both at the undergraduate and master's levels. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has sponsored the reports from the beginning. Since the Association for Information Systems (AIS) was established in the mid-1990s, the two organizations have collaborated on the production of curriculum recommendations for the IS discipline. At the undergraduate level, both the Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP) (formerly DPMA) and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) have also made significant contributions to the curriculum recommendations.
