Abstract
There is an increasing awareness of online courses offered over the Internet. These courses span a variety of disciplines and are offered by multiple types of institutions. This research examines the current status of online programs with the goal of understanding whether and how they have matured from online course offerings into full online degree programs. Of particular interest are those online courses that lead to degrees in information systems and related disciplines. This paper will focus on the findings resulting from a nationwide survey of institutions cited in the major college guide literature as offering information systems related online degree programs. Contrary to expectations, there are currently only two (2) institutions offering four-year online degree programs in information systems related disciplines.
