If you are interested in combining business skills with technology and a 100 percent job placement rate upon graduation, then check out the Management Information Systems program open house at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 or Nov. 7 in the AIME building.
Along with free food and drinks, students will have the opportunity to hear from seniors and graduate students in the program and to view their current project work for actual companies.
“It gives students the opportunity to envision themselves in that environment, to see what they actually want to do,” Allison Inclan, a senior in the program, said.
Inclan said the faculty help students build resume books for future employers and have multiple interview preparation sessions with individual students each semester.
“Our faculty is so involved ,and they make it their job to get everyone placed,” she said.
MIS students form what Inclan calls a “close culture,” which comes with how frequently they work in teams. They have several networking events every semester to make connections and also have their own social events and intramural sports groups.
Will Dollar, a senior in the program, said these connections help to build accountability within the program which correlates with their teamwork.
“The team-based atmosphere really prepares us for the professional environment,” he said.
