  abstract =     "This column briefly reviews the history of information
                 systems (IS) accreditation and presents a set of
                 criteria, that are in the development stages, for
                 accrediting IS programs. The purpose of the draft IS
                 criteria is to generate discussion within the
                 professional community that will lead to support and
                 improvements in the criteria and endorsement of the IS
                 accreditation process. Educators expressed interest in
                 IS accreditation soon after CSAB was formed in 1985. An
                 IS accreditation workshop was held in November 1986 at
                 the Fall Joint Computer Conference in Dallas.
                 Representatives from ACM, IEEE-CS, and DPMA (now AITP)
                 discussed the merits of and mechanisms for
                 accreditation. There was sufficient interest to form a
                 working group with one representative from each society
                 to develop draft criteria. The group circulated the
                 draft criteria and presented it to ACM's Accreditation
                 Committee at the 1987 Computer Science Conference.
                 Public presentations were made at the DPMA Educational
                 Foundation's Information Systems Education Conference
                 (ISECON) in 1987 and at the 19th ACM SIGCSE Technical
                 Symposium in 1988. Each society published the criteria
                 encourage discussion within the professional community.
                 At the time, however, many IS programs were housed in
                 an accredited AACSB school of business and these
                 schools were not interested in program accreditation.
                 DPMA was not interested in joining the ACM or the
                 IEEE-CS in funding an IS accreditation process, so the
                 idea was put on hold. Today, approximately 50\% of IS
                 programs are located outside schools of business and
                 interest in accreditation is being revisited. NSF has
                 provided a three-year grant to examine the feasibility
                 of accreditation of programs in computer information
                 science/systems/technology. The principal investigators
                 (PI) of the study are project director Doris Lidtke of
                 Towson University, and Co-PIs John T. Gorgone of
                 Bentley College, John Henderson of Boston University,
                 and Willis King of the University of Houston. The study
                 includes the development of a set of criteria and
                 procedures which may be used for accreditation of IS
                 related programs. Check the IS accreditation web site
