MSIS students have access to a number of career-management resources at the Eccles School, including a career coach who works one-on-one with students. We are dedicated to providing resources to help students maximize their graduate education.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of computer and information systems managers is projected to grow 16 percent from 2021 to 2031, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Even in this climate, landing the right job requires more than a degree. That’s why the Eccles School offers extensive career guidance for MSIS students. We develop and actively manage recruiting relationships with a growing number of companies, from Fortune 500 stalwarts to buzz-worthy start-ups. We also regularly bring in guest lecturers working in different IS sectors to share their experience and advice.
