MS in Management Information Systems
Graduate Level - CMIS 587 Information Systems Internship
General: Enrollment in CMIS 587 requires you to have graduate status as a student in the MS in Management Information Systems program during the term in which the internship is to be completed. The course is only open to graduate students. The CMIS 587 internship may be taken for 3 hours of credit. The course may not be repeated for additional internship credit. In order to complete 3 credit hours, you must complete at least 120 hours on the job as an intern with the company that is sponsoring your internship.
Internship Company: It is most desirable for you to find an internship position as this is most likely to enable you to work in an area within the information systems field that interests you. You may find positions advertised through the Career Development Center or you may find positions through advertisements or by other means. The CMIS department will also assist you in finding internship positions, but they may not necessarily be positions that are of most interest to you.

In order to enroll, you must complete the Internship Approval Letter (hyperlink to the letter is given below) and deliver it to the MS MIS Program Director as evidence that you have identified a firm that is willing to sponsor the internship.
