I think, another course should be CSCI 9000: How not to be opinionated jerk.

  Where are you gonna find faculty to teach that.

  I think if you force CS students to take a few business courses (or MIS courses), it can help dissolve the 'opinionated jerk' [elitist] stereotype that can come from CS students. They see that software development is only a piece of the puzzle and while they'll never have to worry about handling insurance, someone who didn't spend classes learning code has learned this task for them.

    You must have had different business classes. The one class I had with business majors, I was completely underwhelmed as to their capabilities. I was amazed at having an upper division course that had such atrocious writing and thinking skills.

      Its actually more along the line of I currently am teaching the 'Intro to IT' course required for all business majors. In one light, the course is about making the rest of business understand what IT does; however from an IT student perspective, it should also let them see the other side. Each week I'm mulling over how to connect with both sides of the table, since I have both sides in my classroom.
