As described in the guiding principles, all Information Systems curricula must offer coverage of seven core topics related to Information Systems Specific Knowledge and Skills. In addition, the curricula cover a selection of elective topics depending on the career tracks that an institution has decided to offer, together with topics related to the development of foundational knowledge and topics and domain knowledge. The career track list presented below is not intended to be exhaustive.

The matrix below represents the relative importance of each of the topics (both core and elective) and the career tracks. It does not, however, include topics related to the foundational and domain knowledge.
