Published:21 September 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

The number of information technology baccalaureate programs continues to grow to meet the demand for rapid growth in IT occupations. With the growth of a relatively new academic discipline, it is important to identify its players, namely IT faculty and administrators, and the programmatic landscape. To gather data about IT programs, faculty, and administrators, a survey was conducted in spring 2021. This paper is presents survey data related to the profiles and perceptions of IT program leaders and characteristics of IT baccalaureate programs in the U.S.
