A year ago, the Department of Computer and Information Systems at Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business was on top of the world. .... The department's enrollment last fall was 2,750, making it one of the largest IT programs in the country....
What a difference a year makes. With the economy stalled and IT hiring by many companies at a standstill, enrollment at Robinson's CIS department has plummeted, according to Academic Program Director David McDonald. Last spring, enrollment fell by 11 percent. And now, just prior to the opening of the fall semester, enrollment is off another 43 percent.
