Abstract: The purposes of this paper are to address the declining management information systems (MIS) enrolment problem, to suggest an enterprise resource planning (ERP)-based MIS curriculum which could reverse the enrolment decline, and to facilitate ERP integration in the business curriculum by analysing ERP software usage across industries. Enterprise resource planning systems are popular today because of their many benefits. We analyse which ERP systems are predominately used in various industries in the USA. Additionally, we determine which ERP applications are most critical for business majors to learn; which challenges are encountered when implementing enterprise systems; which level of ERP proficiency business graduates should have upon graduation, and what recommendations these respondents would give business faculty when implementing ERP software in the business curriculum. Conclusions and recommendations are made, which may provide some insight to faculty at universities who are planning on implementing an ERP system into their curricula.
