Abstract : This paper traces the history of the development of
information systems degrees in one of the largest Australian
universities. A synthesis of documents and transcripts of interviews
with the participants shows that information systems grew from an
amalgam of existing business courses. The shape of the degrees was
initially forged by politics and personality, with a stable and robust
curriculum in place after a number of years. This historical narrative
shows that university curriculum reflected the significant impact of
information technologies in business.
