The paper describes a proposal to increase enrollments in undergraduate Information Systems programs in Business Schools. In the face of Y2K overhang, the dot com bubble, and the popular press describing the off-shoring of Information Technology, this paper describes a proposal to stimulate interest in Information Systems as an undergraduate field of study. The proposal revolves around emphasizing “Business Analysis.”

Keywords: IS enrollments, IS Curriculum, Business Analysis
