Experiences

Our program offers multiple experiences outside the classroom for students to gain knowledge about the management of information systems.

Professional Internships
Students can build a professional network and gain valuable on-the-job experience by completing a professional internship. This supervised work experience can significantly improve a student’s skill set and résumé and often will lead to a full-time job. Students have access to Mays Business School’s Career Management Center and other university resources to assist in identifying and securing internship opportunities.

Business Information Technology Students (BITS)
Business Information Technology Students (BITS) is a student-led organization that provides MIS graduate students with a forum to interact with industry representatives. These interactions supplement the students’ education by providing them with opportunities to network with peers and members of industry and assistance in career development.  For more information, please visit BITS.
