Are information systems and computer science overlapping more and more?

In this research, we posit the importance of including Computer Science topics in undergraduate Information Systems courses. A review of the existing literature has mentioned the importance of learning some Computer Science topics for an Information Systems career. Unfortunately, we have not found a consensus that could push this initiative. There is a set of concepts that Information Systems students should acquire from Computer Science or at least have a solid background in these areas. Therefore, we propose a set of courses from Computer Science that, we believe, should be considered in an Information Systems education. © 2020 Association for Computing Machinery.
