One of the promises of the IS 2002 Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems (Gorgone et al. 2002) is that the model can be implemented at a university without changing IS course structure. That is, to implement the model curriculum does not require a university to teach the eleven courses of the model curriculum. This paper is written to describe a process that attains this goal. In this process, the learning units of the model curriculum are aligned with a university’s IS course content. We discuss the detailed process of mapping, and illustrate the use of the better of two mapping approaches tried at the University of South Alabama. Having completed the effort, we can provide IS faculty and department chairs with guidance on what we believe to be an efficient and effective technique for curriculum evaluation and improvement.

Keywords: IS2002, curriculum development, curriculum mapping
