+ - Dakota State University of Madison, SD, which by mission is the technology universtriy of South Dakota prepares it graduates with regard to project management through a two course sequence. Those courses are: + -

+ - CIS 332 - Systems Analysis and Design + -

+ - CIS 338 - Project Management + -

+ - These courses are in the required courses core for the following undergraduate majors: + -

+ - Information Systems + -

+ - Computer and Network Security + -

+ - Network and System Administration + -

+ - There are several other majors where these two courses are highly recommended as electives. With the advent of IS 2010, university faculty teaching in the Information Systems discipline have been promoting these courses to more disciplines. + -

+ - The publishing of IS 2010: Curriculum Guide-lines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems (Topi, et al., 2010) was the ideal time to review the curriculum offer-ings of the CIS degree. The table that follows illustrates the work by the CIS faculty. There were no changes to the thirty (30) credit sys-tem-wide general education requirements or the eleven (11) credit Institutional graduation requirement. The curriculum is divided into Required and Specializations categories where each student must complete a minimum of 1 specialization along with the required coursework. (DSU, 2010) + -
