SAP is fairly widely used in the undergraduate business curriculum, but what effect does it have on the IS enrollment? This paper describes how any university would be able to incorporate SAP into their curriculum and the positive effect it has had on our enrollment, showing results from not one but two universities. SAP has a University Alliance program that encourages universities all over the world to cooperate in the use of SAP in the curriculum. SAP maintains an SAP University Alliance Community web page that lists major SAP applications developed by various universities and these applications are made available to all members of the SAP University Alliance. In these times of shrinking budgets and tight employment opportunities for business school graduates we found results to suggest that many universities should be considering using SAP in the curriculum. Our paper will be a guidebook or framework for how to accomplish that. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has been accrediting engineering and computer science for many years. In recent years ABET has been accrediting Information Systems and Information Technology programs. ABET first accredited IS in 2000 and IT in 2003. ABET appears to have become the standard accreditation for IT and in the spring of 2014 there are 25 IT programs accredited by ABET. There are 38 IS programs accredited by ABET since 2000. This paper looks at the IS and IT ABET accredited programs and examines the common features and differences of these related accredited programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
