The goal of this research is to measure the "value added" to the student's information system knowledge by a Computer Information System program. Students taking the first required course in the Computer Information System program are compared to those taking the Computer Information System capstone course at the end of the program, using the results of the Information Systems Analyst exam. This measure of value added provides a mechanism for assessment of program outcomes, which is useful for ABET and other accreditation.
