“…The successful revision leads to the "Substantial Equivalency" status of the reviewed program with accredited programs in the US. Such program may not be absolutely identical in format or method of delivery to US accredited programs, but it should be comparable in program contents and educational experience (Gorgone & Kanabar, 2002).…”

Executive SummaryThis paper addresses additional requirements associated with implementing a standard curriculum of Management Information Systems (MIS) in bilingual developing countries where both students and workplace users speak English as a second language. In such countries, MIS graduates are required to develop bilingual computer applications and to communicate bilingually with the anticipated users of such applications.The additional requirements are considered from three perspectives: bilingualism technology for information system design, user bilingual communication for user involvement in system development, and student bilingual communication in the educational process. Modules of bilingualism technology are proposed for incorporating into standard MIS curricula implemented in a bilingual developing environment. The average estimated percentages of these modules represent 13.55% of the curriculum contents.A field study was carried out in a developing country where people communicate in bilingual English/Arabic. The study measures perceptions of senior MIS students and first-year alumni about these requirements. Despite several similarities in perception of both groups, results show differences in perceived required emphasis on bilingualism technology modules in each course area. Results show also differences in perceived needs for bilingual textbooks, teaching, and assessment methods within both groups according to the type of high school education. The research findings may be applied to other bilingual developing countries especially where local languages use subsets or supersets of Arabic alphabet, such as Urdu, Persian, Kurdish, and Swahili.

Colleges and universities in the United States with undergraduate programs offer undergraduate Management Information Systems programs in their business schools to complement and balance computer science and computer engineering curricula. Similar institutions in the Englishspeaking Caribbean, however, slant their computing studies overwhelmingly toward Computer Science , which produces technologists for the IT industry. Although the vast majority of their graduates are engaged in applying technology solutions to information problems in business organizations, these English-speaking Caribbean institutions offer limited MIS programs, which prepare graduates for such roles. This article examines undergraduate computing curricula in the Caribbean and compares them with others elsewhere in the world. It recommends that Englishspeaking Caribbean universities give similar prominence to MIS education in their business programs in order to equip graduates to create more effective IT-enabled business solutions.
