A number of universities have recently started to add baccalaureate programs in Information Technology (IT) to their existing programs in Computer Science (CS) and (Management) Information Systems (IS). While some have welcomed this development, others have argued that (a) there are significant differences between the baccalaureate programs in IT that different institutions currently offer, and that it is, therefore, impossible to speak of a generic IT baccalaureate degree, and that (b) to the extent that there is a similarity, there is no real difference between programs in IT, and programs in CS or IS. There are two ways in which one can try to settle the question whether there are significant differences between IT programs and programs in CS or IS. One method is what one might call top-down. Such an approach essentially involves arriving at a generally agreed-on definition of the subject, or at a consensus on the capabilities that graduates in the discipline must have, and then using these definitions to determine whether there are significant differences. A top-down methodology has three drawbacks. First, it does not reflect the way in which degree programs in new areas tend to emerge. Programs in new areas are typically designed by individual institutions to meet some perceived demand, and they are not designed based on a general definition of the area that a relevant community has agreed on beforehand. Second, a top-down comparison obviously does not allow one to answer the question whether there are significant similarities between IT programs currently being offered by different institutions. Finally, the definition that one is likely to accept for a particular discipline depends on one's perception of the fields under consideration. Thus, if one believes that there is a significant difference between, say, IT and IS, then one is likely to prefer definitions of these fields that emphasize these differences. On the other hand, if one is not convinced that there is a difference, then one is more likely to accept definitions that minimize the difference. These considerations have led us to adopt a bottom-up approach to the question whether there are significant similarities between IT programs offered by different institutions and whether they differ sufficiently from programs in CS and IS. We surveyed the programs in the areas of IT, IS and CS being offered at 10 different institutions across the United States, and classified the courses that students were required to take as belonging to one of seven categories, namely Business; Electronics and Signals; Hardware; Interpersonal Communication; networking, Web Technologies and Databases; Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; and, finally, Software. While we found some differences between the IT programs offered at the different institutions, the similarities between them seemed more significant. Moreover, we found that there were significant differences between programs in IT, programs in IS and programs in CS. (Contains 10 tables and 4 figures.)
