Resumen
This study empirically examines the possible relationships between the accounting majors in-depth exposure of database knowledge and their willingness to expand their knowledge beyond the required Accounting Information Systems (AIS) course by taking additional classes leading to a Management Information Systems (MIS) minor. Our empirical results suggest that in-depth database exposure in AIS classes has a positive impact on accounting students interest in pursuing an MIS minor. The findings of this study encourage the collaboration between MIS and accounting faculty in developing AIS courses to include in-depth database knowledge content. Such collaboration can benefit both accounting and MIS programs.
