The rapid changes and assimilation of computer networks into the business world have placed new demands on the traditional computer networks course. The volume of material is ever increasing yet the practical, theoretical issues are still very important. This paper discusses a Computer Networks course that attempts to blend the traditional, technical aspects of a CS course with the business and information emphasis of a traditional IS course. The course is supported by a heterogeneous networking laboratory providing the students with hands-on opportunities and activities.

Keywords: computer networks, information systems curriculum
