Abstract

This study involves an analysis of a cohort of student’s during their pursuit of a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems Technologies (IST) at a Midwestern university. Demographics and analysis of this cohort include basic demographic information, student home-life and personal responsibilities, employment and work experience, and their academic experience while attending a 4year public institution. Fifty-three students in an IST program provided responses and perceptions to this survey. Over three quarters (> 75%) of the respondents identified that they were working during their degree with a high percentage on non-traditional students identified in this study. Program content and preparation for employment in the Information Technology (IT) field/profession were assessed. Findings and conclusions of the perceptions of this cohort’s responses to the survey are provided.
