[AISWorld] Earliest Undergraduate Program in Information Systems in a College of Business

[Ephraim McLean]

Our degree program here at Georgia State University began in 1969, so MSU has us beat.  But if the question is business-school-based courses in computing, the title goes to ULCA which offered a course in business statistics using the SWAC (octal) computer in 1953, taught by Prof.  Clay Sprowls.

Subject: [AISWorld] Earliest Undergraduate Program in Information Systems in a College of Business

AIS Colleagues,
At this time, the earliest known computer-related degree program in a college of business began in 1963 at Mississippi State University.

Does anyone have information on an earlier one?

It has to be in a college of business and have a computer-based name.

I will report any earlier one that I can verify to the group.

Gary
