The IS2002 Model Curriculum is a well researched and promoted standard for IS education. Over the past four years a coalition of schools formed to create an assessment exam to be administered to students for measuring performance against objectives of the Model Curriculum. Analysis of examination results provides reports to institutions for curriculum evaluation and development. A Center for Computing Education Research is being formed to manage this process. The ICCP is offering a new professional “Information Systems Analyst” (ISA) certification for students performing at a prescribed level on the assessment exam.

Keywords: model curriculum, assessment, certification, program improvement
