Abstract

Much has been written about the steep decline in enrollments in university-based information technology (IT) programs. Not only is this phenomenon important to employers of graduates of these programs, it is also of great importance to the academic units that house these programs. This paper describes one university's novel approach to investigate the causes of this decline and to develop tactics to reverse this trend.
