Abstract
This paper provides a status report of the joint curriculum task force effort to develop a new model curriculum for undergraduate programs in Information Systems. The curriculum work is the first collaborative effort between ACM, AIS and DPMA. After a brief description of the background and current task force activities are presented, the recommended courses are briefly listed and described.
