ABSTRACT
This chapter examines current information systems and management curriculum models and accreditation standards. To provide the quality of information organizations need for decision making and daily operations, organizations need to learn to management information as a product. At Marist College, one of the leading colleges of the arts and sciences in the Northeast, an undergraduate course has been developed to help students explore and understand data-quality and information-quality problems in information systems, databases and data warehouses. The management curriculum and course development efforts will provide information systems professionals and managers with the skills and knowledge they need to manage their information as a product, and thus to improve the quality of organizational information. As more organizations realize the need for positions with explicit responsibility for information quality and as colleges and universities step up to address the critical issue of data- and information-quality education, research and practice will address the emerging information-quality career opportunities and challenges.
