Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Management information systems] From West Virginia University

MIS students are encouraged to participate in an internship after their first semester in the College. Internships are an extension of the learning experience and provide insights into the actual operations of an organization. The College?s Career Development Center uses its extensive network of firms and organizations to help students find the right internship for them.

The MIS Association offers professional and social programs to all students interested in that field. Outside speakers offer information and personal contacts that are very helpful in career development.
