Abstract

The authors provide a detailed analysis of a continuous improvement process for an information systems master's program at an Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-accredited university. The authors sought to inform the literature on the improvement process used to satisfy quality standards and improve learning outcomes in a degree program. Empirical evidence from five years of assessment data a presented. Success is demonstrated by recent top-tier rankings and through improvements in outcome measures. The results inform the audience on how to design and blueprint curriculum changes for improvement. A literature review supporting the implemented process is also presented.
