Does the AACSB common body of knowledge requirement for information systems (including applications) suggest that this discipline be included in course work in each business school discipline? Certainly information systems permeate all functional areas of business. Therefore, should information systems theory and practice be incorporated into the course work of all disciplines of the business school? If the answers to these questions are "yes" then it becomes very important to address how students learn information theory and applications.Most business schools have an information systems course as a core requirement. An introductory course to management information systems (MIS) provides the overview of the field. Many introductory MIS texts devote chapters and/or case studies to the application of information systems to different functional areas of businesses. Beyond this overview, course work in other disciplines utilizes computer software and applications.This article provides a discussion of the abilities of other disciplines to incorporate information system theory and practice into course work. It is supported by an example of an expert system that was introduced in a business policies course. The design and implementation of that expert system provided insights into the students' perceptions of expert systems and also into the abilities of non-MIS instructors to assimilate information systems concepts into their courses.
