Abstract: Computer Information Systems (CIS) is where technology meets real world demands. Today’s complex and inter-related global economies demand well-rounded professionals possessing, not only a strong technological tools set, but a diverse portfolio of skills that include a solid understanding of business/business processes, leadership and project management, information technology oriented skills, and exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. CIS in education is one of the few, interdisciplinary computing-related degrees today that adequately prepare students to meet these multifaceted workforce demands. This research is driven around the interest to determine the effect of one university providing two, separate pedagogy offerings to students for a ABET-CAC accredited CIS program - - - one totally online and one as a hybrid offering combining online and traditional, face-to-face. The author’s share their initial findings from comparing the two offerings as a basis to determine conclusions and recommendations on the future design and development of the CIS program.
