Abstract

This paper is the result of a survey of 25 Saudi Arabian university's colleges teaching undergraduate programmes in Information Systems (IS). Many of these universities are in the process of making their courses accredited by external creditors, such as ABET. This paper attempts to examine the common characteristics of these ABET accredited-oriented Information Systems (IS) undergraduate programmes. The paper also looks at the common trends in the courses of the Information Systems programmes of these universities. As a result of this analysis, the paper will also briefly explore how Information Systems design in many Saudi Arabian is designed to be more science-oriented than business-oriented programmes because of ABET accreditation influence.
