The field of Computer Science (CS) is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary thus making it very challenging to train students in fields which are more desirable in the industry. Two such areas are Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) together with the underlying Analytics component. Though the existing CS curricula is less rigid than other applied disciplines, some unique challenges make it difficult to incorporate new courses from applied multidisciplinary areas. It is articulated that inclusion of BPM and BI concepts in the CS degree is possible to a certain extent. This will enable students to acquire the essential skills to be successful in the real world and also prepare them for taking on more concentrated streams to further enhance their understanding in the emerging areas.
