Abstract

Information technology as an academic discipline began in the early 90's. Since then, there have been many changes in how industry views the discipline. Today, information technology is about large-scale operations. This may be manifested as supporting enterprise services, working with big data, or supporting massive multi-user systems. In this paper, we describe a new curriculum that is based upon the original work in the "2008 Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Technology" document, but addresses modern information technology demands. We discuss a new curricular model for teaching information technology and also the addition of analytics as an overarching theme for the curriculum.
