Internships are highly recommended, and allow you to apply concepts and practices learned in coursework as you assist in professional entry-level work under the formal guidance from a qualified supervisor/mentor. You may take part in a variety of projects including but not limited to:

• Redesign of a website
• Taxonomy construction
• Information security analysis
• Database modeling
• Information retrieval system design
• Requirements analysis for large information projects

• The internship site/experience must be approved by the MSIM academic advisor.
• Your work/projects/tasks must be primarily of a professional or beginning professional nature.
